Evolutionary explanations of our moral beliefs have frequently been used to argue that our moral beliefs are unjustified. Recent discussions\, however\, question whether there is a sound epistemic principle to support this type of debunking challenge and whether the debunking challenge might ultimately depend on the epistemic significance of moral disagreement.

\n

The aim of the colloquium will be to deepen our understanding of the relation between debunking arguments that target the epistemic status of moral judgements and the epistemic significance of moral disagreement\, specifically in regards to the following two aspects:

\n

a) Which epistemic principle undergirds the metaethical debunking challenge?

\n

b) Is it legitimate for anti-debunkers to rely on substantive moral truths in responding to the metaethical debunking challenge?

\n

Our four speakers will each give a presentation of about 90 minutes (including discussion).
