  • Moral Realism - Prof. Russ Shafer Landau

    Is there something about the world which makes our actions good or bad? Moral realism is the position that moral propositions can be true or false and that morality is a feature of the world rather than (say) just the way we subjectively feel. In this episode I talk to Prof. Russ Shafer Landau, the founder and editor of the periodical Oxford Studies in Metaethics, about what reasons there might be for being a moral realist.

  • Moral Realism - Prof. Russ Shafer Landau Interview

    In this episode I interview Prof. Russ Shafer Landau on a position in meta-ethics called Moral Realism.


    Shafer-Landau is a graduate of Brown University and completed his PhD work at the University of Arizona under the supervision of Joel Feinberg.[1] He has been teaching philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison from 2002, where he became Chair of the Department. From 1992 to 2002 Shafer-Landau taught at the University of Kansas.  He is the founder and editor of the periodical Oxford Studies in Metaethics.[2] Shafer-Landau returned to UW after a brief stint at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he also served as the Director of the Parr Center for Ethics. Shafer-Landau is the founder and organizer for the annual Madison Metaethics Workshop (also referred to as MadMeta, founded in 2004) which followed him to North Carolina under the name "CHillMeta," before re-assuming its original identity when Shafer-Landau returned to UW.
