 Stevenson remained at Harvard as an instructor for three years until 1938, during which time three early essays were published in Mind: “The Emotive Meaning of Ethical Terms” (1937), “Ethical Judgments and Avoidability” (1938a), and “Persuasive Definitions” (1938b). In 1939, Stevenson accepted the position of Assistant Professor at Yale, where he remained until 1946, and during which time his landmark Ethics and Language was published in 1944. One of the conclusions Stevenson reached in this book was that some ethical disputes may be rationally irresolvable. Apparently on these grounds, and in the historical context of World War II atrocity, Stevenson was denied  tenure.[1]  The University of Michigan immediately offered Stevenson a position as Associate Professor, which he accepted, and where he remained until 1978. Stevenson’s most important articles in ethics are collected in Facts and Values (1963a), which also contains an informative retrospective essay (1963b) that clarifies, expands, and refines his mature views. His partly related work in aesthetics (e.g., 1950b, 1957, 1958) remains uncollected.
