Isi artikel

The Frege-Geach problem is probably the most serious worry for the prospects of any kind of metaethical expressivism. In a recent article, Ridge suggests that a new version of expressivism, a view he calls ecumenical expressivism, can avoid the Frege-Geach problem. In contrast to pure expressivism, ecumenical expressivism is the view that moral utterances function to express not only desire-like states of mind but also beliefs with propositional content. Whereas pure expressivists' solutions to Frege-Geach problem usually have rested on some kind of "logic of attitudes," Ridge argues that it is the expressed belief in the ecumenical machinery that holds the key. Althought Rigde's ecumenical expressivism is promising, this essay argues that his solution is flawed.
