Just a snippet to store away, since I’m not really up on Hume yet.
Hume’s metaethics … his emotivist stance on the nature of moral judgment and … the assertion of rationality as part of that process is only an ad hoc attempt to somehow “independently” justify the moral conclusions we’ve already reached.
A recurring theme, but the context is a spoof Tim McSweeney monologue linked by Matt Kundert.
