DE LACERDA NUNES, Lauren  y  GARMENDIA DA TRINDADE, Gabriel. The conception of value: an analysis about the objectivity of values proposed by P. Grice. discus.filos [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.21, pp.105-118. ISSN 0124-6127.

This article aims at analyzing specific topics of the first chapter "Value and objectivity" of P Grice's book Conception of value. Through this analysis we intend to do a metaethical discussion about the possibility of an objectivity or skepticism concerning moral values. The referred topics are: 1) P. Grice's approach of J. Mackie's Error Theory; 2) the contribution of R. M. Hare to the discussion of J. Mackie's Error Theory; 3) P. Grice's criticisms to R. M. Hare's approach and 4) P. Grice's analysis of the radical anti-objectivism of J. Mackie while opposed to his own objectivist vision. The discussion is concluded by disagreeing with J. Mackie's Error Theory, which asserts moral values as false, when in fact Mackie would have treated it methodologically as "no sense". With it, the skepticism of values proposed by J. Mackie is disqualified when it faces the possibility of an objectivism of values proposed by P. Grice.

Palabras clave : objectivism; P. Grice; Error Theory.
