  Much of that discussion focuses on a certain challenge against moral realism, according to which it generates implausible implications about when people are in a genuine moral disagreement. Realism is supposed to have those implications because of its commitment to cognitivism and absolutism, and the challenge is accordingly offered of in support of non-cognitivist or relativist views. However, the implications do not follow from cognitivism or absolutism alone, but only given certain metasemantical assumptions about how the truth conditions of moral sentences and the contents of moral beliefs are determined. So, an important question is if there are plausible assumptions of that kind with which realists can combine their theory to avoid the implications.
