Mark Schroeder explores the semantic commitments of metaethical expressivism,the heir to the noncognitivist theories of Ayer, Stevenson, and Hare. He shows how to solve many of the open problems facing expressivism, but this only highlights further and deeper problems for the view. Expressivism, he argues, iscoherent and interesting, but false.
