This is a complete argument for objective morality. In this episode of Seeing Clearly, professor Michael Huemer and I run through his argument for moral realism: the thesis that there are objective moral facts knowable via intuition. We cover every other metaethical theory and show why each of them fails and how moral realism responds to the most popular objections against the view. I did my best to pressure Professor Huemer by steel manning anti-realism every step of the way. 1:01 — What is metaethics? 2:52 — The 5 metaethical theories 10:58 — Why are philosophers, and not linguists, talking about semantics? 13:36 — Why non-cognitivism (emotivism, prescriptivism) is wrong 19:11 — Why quasi-realism is wrong 24:09 — Why naturalism is wrong 27:49 — The Open Question argument and can we just deny it? 29:34 — Is the is/ought gap even real? 33:11 — If normative facts depend entirely on descriptive facts, are they really different? 37:16 — Why subjectivism is wrong 54:04 — The Principle of Phenomenal Conservatism 56:41 — Why nihilism is wrong 58:11 — Isn’t it more intuitive to be a nihilist given a modern scientific worldview? 1:10:09 — What if someone just doesn’t have realist intuitions? 1:18:44 — Does evolution debunk morality? 1:25:42 — How could we possibly know “non-natural” moral facts? Can meditation help? 1:36:25 — If you’re wrong about morality, does anything bad actually happen? 1:39:16 — What are moral statements true *about*? 1:46:19 — Does the Form of the Good = a value attractor state? 1:48:48 — Do souls exist?

Do souls exist? Michael Huemer argues yes. Consciousness is clearly non-physical and if anything could account for the non-physical, it's the soul. It's also the best account of personal identity. But what about Buddhist/Parfitian accounts of personal identity?
