Moral Fictionalism and Religious Fictionalism

Beschreibung

If we are skeptical about the truth of religious or moral belief, what should we do about those ways of talking and thinking? According to the fictionalist, they provide pragmatic benefits that do not depend on their truth. This volume examines religious fictionalism, moral fictionalism, and the relation between these views.
