Reviews

The accommodation project that Sinclair articulates seems mightily laudable, and his attempt to execute significant chunks of it contains a lot that is helpful and of interest with regard to the prospects of expressivist views in metaethics. * Teemu Toppinen, Tampere University, Ethics * While explaining and defending practical expressivism, Sinclair discusses many key controversies in metaethics. Valuable for students and scholars of moral philosophy, ethical theory, and metaethics. * J. R. Shook, CHOICE * Anyone interested in metaethics can find a lot to learn and think about in this superb book, and I am sure it only marks the starting point in systematic thinking about the view it champions. * S. Kohler, Philosophical Review *
