Nihilism and Scepticism About Moral Obligations

Walter Sinnott-Armstrong

Utilitas, 1995, vol. 7, issue 2, 217-236

Abstract: There are many disagreements about what people have moral obligations to do, but almost everyone believes that some people have some moral obligations. Moreover, there are some moral obligations in which almost everyone believes. For example, if I promise to give a talk at this conference, I have a moral obligation to do so. Of course, my obligation might be overridden. Moreover, even if my obligation were overridden, I would still have a moral obligation to give a talk at this conference.
