Appreciation and criticism of Reichenbach's meta-ethics
Achilles' heel of the system?
Cynthia Schuster
pp. 721-730
Non-cognitivism in ethics is strictly entailed by Reichenbach's epistemology. Having settled for a functional conception of knowledge, with prediction as the one and only function or purpose of knowledge, Reichenbach was committed to ethical non-cognitivism, i.e. to the view that there is no normative or prescriptive knowledge, that there are no moral truths, that moral judgements are neither true nor false.
