quasi-realism
Quasi-realism is a philosophical position that suggests our moral statements and beliefs can be treated as if they are true, even if they do not correspond to objective moral facts. It argues that our emotional responses and attitudes towards moral issues can create a sense of reality, making moral claims feel genuine and meaningful.
This view is often associated with Simon Blackburn, who emphasizes that while moral statements may not refer to independent moral truths, they still play a crucial role in guiding our actions and shaping our social practices. Thus, quasi-realism seeks to bridge the gap between moral language and our lived experiences.
