Infectious and transparent emotivism

Infectious and transparent emotivism Emotivists like Ayer claim that moral sentences are devoid of cognitive meaning since they only evince attitudinal approval or disapproval of actions. In this paper, I explore two non-classical semantic frameworks for such a view. In particular, I look into the semantics for an infectious logic and a transparent logic. Finally, I show how each of these semantic frameworks accounts for the logical behaviour of these meaningless moral sentences and their upshots to moral reasoning; in particular, how each framework addresses (an emotivist variant of) Jörgensen's dilemma. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics Taylor & Francis
