Terence Horgan

Terence Horgan is a philosopher known for his work on moral realism and anti-realism. Moral realism is the idea that there are objective moral facts—truths about right and wrong that exist independently of human opinions. Horgan, however, leans towards a form of anti-realism, suggesting that moral statements do not refer to objective truths but instead express our feelings or social agreements. He explores how our moral beliefs are shaped by cultural influences, leading to questions about whether morality can be truly objective or if it is inherently subjective and contingent on human contexts.
