Abstract

A close look shows that the Moral Twin Earth argument poses no threat to moral naturalism. To say this is not to say that synthetic moral naturalism is without difficulties. I believe that in fact it has difficulty accounting for the normativity of moral claims. My goal in this paper, however, is the modest one of making Moral Twin Earth safe for naturalists. (edited)
