Simon Blackburn was Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Cambridge and Edna J. Koury Distinguished Professor of Philosophy
at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Though he has
worked in many areas of philosophy, he is best known for his
contributions to metaethics and the philosophy of language. Simon
and Robinson discuss the distinction between ethics and
metaethics before primarily focusing on the latter, where they
explore the concept of realism. Simon’s latest books are Lust and
Mirror, Mirror.
