The size of the universe against robust realism
Elson, L.
It is advisable to refer to the publisher's version if you intend to cite from this work. See Guidance on citing. Abstract/SummaryDoes the vast and empty universe have metaethical upshots, perhaps supporting metaethical nihilism or at least counting against robust moral realism? Philosophers have not been kind to this cliché, and most think Thomas Nagel and Guy Kahane refuted it. I argue using Inference to Best Explanation that the huge empty skies should indeed make us less confident that anything robustly matters.
