Description
“Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong” is a philosophical work by J.L. Mackie, an Australian philosopher. The book was first published in 1977. Mackie explores meta-ethical questions, particularly focusing on the nature of moral judgments and the existence of objective moral values.
In the book, Mackie presents his argument for moral skepticism, proposing that objective moral values and duties do not exist. He contends that ethical statements are best understood as expressions of individuals’ attitudes and preferences rather than as objective truths about the world. The book has been influential in contemporary moral philosophy and is considered a significant work in meta-ethics.
