[T]he emphasis on the normative dimensions of speech and its consequences for metaethics are highly interesting and deserve closer investigation. Cuneo's book is a fine start.

John Eriksson, Ethics

...this is a superb book, original and highly rigorous, and one that rewards repeated reading.

James Edwin Mahon, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online

Positive arguments in favor of moral realism are not wildly abundant. Cuneo has provided us with one that is bold, highly original, clearly argued, broad in its sweep and rich in detail. His book is compulsory reading for anyone interested in the nature of moral truth.

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online

Terence Cuneo develops a novel line of argument for moral realism. The argument he defends hinges on the normative theory of speech, according to which speech acts are generated by an agent's altering her normative position with regard to her audience, gaining rights, responsibilities, and obligations of certain kinds. Some of these rights, responsibilities, and obligations, Cuneo suggests, are moral. And these moral features are best understood along realist lines, in part because they explain how it is that we can speak. If this is right, a necessary condition of being able to speak is that there are moral rights, responsibilities, and obligations of a broadly realist sort.

Terence Cuneo presents a new argument for moral realism. According to the normative theory of speech, speech acts are generated by an agent's altering her normative position with regard to her audience. In doing so she takes on rights and responsibilities, some of which are moral and objective: these are a necessary condition of speech.
