A Positive Case for Objective Morality (Dr. Eric Sampson).png

From The Analytic Christian:

There are two broad strategies one can use to show the truth of moral realism- defense and offense. When playing defense, one tries to show that criticisms of the view do not succeed, while criticisms of alternative positions do succeed. This could be called, "The Argument from Elimination." When playing offense, one tries to give positive reasons in favor of moral realism. In this interview, Dr. Eric Sampson will play offense by providing four arguments in support of moral realism.

From Crash Course Apologetics:

The moral error theorist does not believe in such things as moral values and moral obligations. John Mackie offered two arguments for this view that have come to be held with high regard among moral nihilists. The first is the argument from disagreement. The second is the argument from queerness. In this interview, Eric Sampson critiques both arguments. Eric Sampson is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

The two papers linked below are the topic of this interview.
