Summary
The author seeks to establish two main conclusions. Moral requirements are strongly objective. On the other hand, the objectivity of ethics is itself an ethical matter that rests primarily on ethical considerations. Moral realism--the doctrine that morality is indeed objective--is a moral doctrine.
