Emotivism challenges

What is the result of reducing ethical statements to being meaningless?

No basic moral principles can exist e.g. life is precious

What does emotivism fail to resolve? What can this lead to?

Differences of opinion

Complete freedom of action - everyone's opinions are equally right, moral consensus is coincidental

Does ethical debate have meaning? Why?

No

No point - nothing is right or wrong, it just is

“murder wrong” - is just an opinion and will never be considered moral standard

Is Ayer's argument sound? Why?

No

His own statement is unverifiable therefore meaningless
