Title: Alexander Grossman
Title: "Conciliationism and Debunking: A Response to Bogardus"

Abstract: Proponents of evolutionary debunking arguments think that the  
facts of evolution suggest that if moral realism is true, our moral beliefs  
do not constitute knowledge. Tomas Bogardus has proposed the Argument from  
Symmetry, a specific evolutionary debunking argument motivated by  
conciliationism about peer disagreement, on which the rational response to  
a certain sort of disagreement is to give up the disputed belief. According  
to Bogardus, the Argument should worry proponents of 'Representationalism,'  
who believe that all of our moral beliefs are formed on the basis of a  
mental intermediary like sentiment or gut feeling. Supposedly  
well-positioned to respond to the Argument are proponents of 'Rationalism,'  
who believe that at least some of our moral beliefs are formed on the basis  
of a direct apprehension of the moral truth. Bogardus has identified a  
plausible way of spelling out the evolutionary threat to moral realism, but  
has misjudged its power: as I will argue, if the Argument succeeds against  
Representationalism then it succeeds against Rationalism.
