This article deals with Parfit's metaethics, which is presented in "OnWhat Matters": Volume Three. In this book, Parfit defends a view hecalls 'non-realist cognitivism'. The main idea is that ethical sentencesexpress irreducibly normative concepts and refer to irreduciblenormative properties. Parfit's defense of this view is sketched mainlyby showing that competing metaethical views are either wrong orreducible to non realist cognitivism. In particular, Parfit argues thatA. Gibbard's and P. Railton's views can be reconciled with his ownnon-realist cognitivism. The article ends with a quick assessment ofthis strategy, which is based on the idea of a convergence of seeminglydifferent theories.
