Boulder RoME 2014

Matjaz presented the paper, written together with Vojko Strahovnik, on Cognitivist Expressivism as Revolutionary Proposal, at the Rocky Mountains Ethics conference. Inspiring discussion following the paper was followed by several encounters, somewhere around error theory and consequentialism. Matjaz now thinks that scalar consequentialism (Norcross) is right in promoting a unique value as illuminating encountered thick moral concepts entangled situations. It was nice to meet several friends. Some photos from the conference are on this Alastair link:

I have met him on several occasions, and had some discussions with him. He was at a Bled conference that I co-organized. Armstrong was a friend of U.T. Place, Australian identity theory originator from Leeds and a friend of mine.
