Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong J. L. Mackie
Publisher:

James, Pragmatism:the meaning of truth, (Cambridge, mass: Havard University Press, 1978) 6. His book on ethics is appropriately titled Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong. This is along the lines of Mackie's argument from queerness. I agree with Dostoevski, Sartre and Mackie. The first chapter is sufficient for getting the argument. To anyone interested in getting a fuller exposition, I highly recommend his “Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong”. Joyce, Richard, The Myth of Morality, (Cambridge, 2001). ATHEIST: Well, we've evolved some moral views, and some tendencies to do right and wrong. If there is no God, there are no objective moral values. The argument you've given is very close Mackie's argument from queerness, posited in "Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong. Mackie, John, Ethics; Inventing right and wrong, (Penguin 1977).
