Legal interpretation, objectivity, and morality / David O. Brink -- Objectivity, morality, and adjudication / Brian Leiter -- Objectivity fit for law / Gerald Postema -- Objective values : does metatethics rest on a mistake? / Sigrún Svavarsdóttir -- Notes on value and objectivity / Joseph Raz -- Embracing objectivity in ethics / Philip Pettit -- Pathetic ethics / David Sosa.

The seven original essays included in this volume from 2000, written by some of the world's most distinguished moral and legal philosophers, offer a sophisticated perspective on issues about the objectivity of legal interpretation and judicial decision-making. They examine objectivity from both metaphysical and epistemological perspectives and develop a variety of approaches, constructive and critical, to the fundamental problems of objectivity in morality. One of the key issues explored is that of the alleged 'domain-specificity' of conceptions of objectivity, i.e. whether there is a conception of objectivity appropriate for ethics that is different in kind from the conception of objectivity appropriate for other areas of study. This volume considers the intersection between objectivity in ethics and objectivity in law. It presents a survey of live issues in metaethics, and examines their relevance to theorizing about law and adjudication.
