Mark Timmons

Mark Timmons is a philosopher known for his work on moral realism and anti-realism, which are theories about the nature of moral facts. Moral realism asserts that there are objective moral truths that exist independently of our beliefs or feelings—meaning some actions are right or wrong regardless of human opinion. In contrast, moral anti-realism argues that moral values are not objective and can depend on human attitudes or social conventions. Timmons explores these ideas, examining how moral language and arguments can support or challenge the existence of objective moral facts in our ethical discussions.
