摘要
How is moral knowledge possible? This paper defends the anti-Humean thesis that we can acquire moral knowledge by deduction from wholly non-moral premises. According to Hume's Law, as it has become known, we cannot deduce an 'ought' from an 'is', since it is "altogether inconceivable how this new relation can be a deduction from others, which are entirely different from it" (1739: 3.1.1). This paper explores the prospects for an inferentialist theory of deductive moral knowledge that rejects Hume's Law.
