About this book

Written by J. L. Mackie 'Ethics' is an exciting work that analyzes moral skepticism of the 20th century. Mackie argues that our everyday moral codes are an 'error theory' based on the presumption of moral facts, which he smoothly contends do not exist.

About the author

J. L. Mackie

Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong opens by stating that there are no objective moral values, and then spends the book explaining why people nonetheless talk as though there are. Mackie called it an error theory: moral claims genuinely assert something about the world and every one of them is false.
