David Copp

David Copp is a philosopher known for his work in moral epistemology, which explores how we come to know what is morally right or wrong. He argues against the idea that moral truths are purely subjective, proposing instead that there are objective moral standards that we can understand and justify through reason. Copp is particularly interested in the relationship between moral principles and human interests, suggesting that our moral beliefs should be rooted in a social context that considers the well-being of individuals and communities. His work encourages a deeper examination of how we determine moral values and their foundations.
