Moral philosophers are moral experts! A reply to David Archard

John-Stewart Gordon. Bioethics. 2014 May.

Abstract

In his article 'Why Moral Philosophers Are Not and Should Not Be Moral Experts' David Archard attempts to show that his argument from common-sense morality is more convincing than other competing arguments in the debate. I examine his main line of argumentation and eventually refute his main argument in my reply.

Keywords: common-sense morality; moral expertise; moral experts; moral philosophers.
