Employing a novel philosophical method, it addresses central questions in metaethics concerning the nature of moral reality, its fundamental laws, its relation to the natural world, and its normative authority.The authors advance new ways of answering these questions, contending that moral standards regarding what to do and how to be are not only objectively authoritative, but essentially so.Rather than arising from personal schemes or collective ideals, morality flows from the nature of things. One of the principal aims of the book is to show how this view accommodates and explains a wide range of data concerning the metaphysical and normative dimensions of morality. Along the way, the book offers novel characterizations of moral realism and nonnaturalism, defends and explains the existence of substantive moral conceptual truths, supplies a new treatment of moral supervenience, substantiates the categoricity and importance of moral reasons, and presents a strategy for identifying the source of morality. Exemplifying a commitment to the integrity of moral philosophy, \u003cem\u003eThe Moral Universe\u003c\/em\u003e also tackles fundamental issues in value theory and normative ethics in the service of developing a systematic, explanatorily potent version of nonnaturalist realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Bengson, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Philosophy, University of Texas at Austin\u003c\/em\u003e, Terence Cuneo, \u003cem\u003eMarsh Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, University of Vermont\u003c\/em\u003e, Russ Shafer-Landau, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin-Madison\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Bengson is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTerence Cuneo is Marsh Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy at the University of Vermont.
