Summary: "It is clear that people have moral beliefs. They think that some acts are right while others are wrong and that some states of affairs are good whereas others are bad. But does anyone have moral knowledge? If so, how is such knowledge possible (see epistemology, moral)? Given that all uncontroversial cases of nonmoral knowledge are either a priori or a posteriori, an account of moral knowledge should explain where moral knowledge falls on this divide. This essay explains the difference between a priori and a posteriori knowledge and sketches four different accounts of a posteriori moral knowledge."-- Provided by publisher
