• Resumen

  • This paper considers Stephen Darwall�s recent attempt to overturn Elizabeth Anscombe�s claim that moral obligation only really makes sense in terms of a divine command account, where he argues that in fact this account must give way to a more secularized and humanistic position if it is to avoid incoherence. It is suggested that Darwall�s attempt to establish this is flawed, and thus that his internal critique of divine command ethics fails.
