it can and offers a theory of morality that is neither theistic nor
naturalistic. This book provides a critical assessment of Parfit's
metaethical theory. Jakobsen identifies some problems in Parfit’s theory
– problems concerning moral normativity, the ontological status of
morality, and evolutionary influence on our moral beliefs – and argues
that theological resources can help solve them.
By showing how Parfit’s theory may be improved by the help of theology,
Jakobsen demonstrates the relevance of theology in philosophical and
metaethical debates and argues that Christian theism offers a better
explanation of morality than what Parfit’s non-naturalism does.
