Cats, Vagabonds, and True Feelings
The relaxed realism about ethics that has proved so popular in some quarters has a formidable defensive strategy. In this talk I describe that strategy, and then, using suggestions found in both C. S. Peirce and William James, go on to talk about the nature of truth in feeling, using as a stalking horse the idea of truth in aesthetic judgment.
