Doubts about the Supervenience of the Evaluative

Abstract

Abstract That the evaluative (or, in different versions, the ethical, the normative, or the moral) supervenes on the natural (or, again in different versions, on the non-evaluative, or on the descriptive, or on the factual) has until quite recently had the status of a commonplace among academic philosophers. Of course, with so many different accounts of what is supposed to supervene and of what it is supposed to supervene upon, there is more than one doctrine here. It will not matter to my discussion, however, which of the first four terms we use; so I shall normally just speak of the evaluative, understood broadly enough to include anything that might count as ethical, normative, or moral.
