ind. 248 p.; 21 cm No philosophical movement has been so violently denounced as the school of "logical positivism." Of all the logical positivist's theory, none has been more bitterly opposed than the "emotive" theory of ethics. The theory's defenders are accused not simply of being mistaken, but of undermining morality. The Logic of Moral Discourse is a detailed restatement and defense of the emotive theory. It is the first systematic answer to the criticism levelled at the theory since its introduction to the public in 1930's. Professor Paul Edwards confronts the arguments of respected professional philosophers, such as Professor Blanshard, Sir David Ross, and Dr. Ewinng, as well as arguments of those whom he describes as the "underworld of philosophy," including C. E. M. Joad and assorted Soviet apologists.
