Non-Naturalist Moral Causation

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Can the moral be causally efficacious? When my friend does something morally wrong, is it the moral wrongness of her action that causes me to think, my friend did something morally wrong? It is generally assumed that how one should answer these questions depends on one’s metaethical commitments. Moral naturalism is taken to let us account for moral causation, while moral non-naturalism is taken not to. This chapter argues that this assumption is false. According to widely accepted difference-making accounts of causation, the moral may be causally efficacious on standard non-naturalist views.</jats:p>
