Abstract

Abstract The standard-based theory leaves us with two central questions: First, under what conditions would a moral standard qualify as justified? And second, what is common to the content of moral propositions in virtue of which any moral proposition entails that some moral standard is justified? A theory of the content and truth conditions of moral propositions should enable us to answer both questions. The philosophically interesting thing about moral propositions is that their truth depends on the existence of relevantly justified standards, and the central philosophical problem in explaining their truth conditions is to explain the conditions under which a moral standard would be justified.
