  To construe moral disagreements in that way is not, however, an option for those non-cognitivists who deny that moral convictions are beliefs and think that to judge that meat-eating is wrong is instead to have a conative attitude towards meat-eating (such as an attitude of dislike or a desire). Theorists of that kind rather conceive of the opposition that a moral disagreement involves as a clash of such attitudes (see, e.g., Stevenson 1944; and Blackburn 1984, 168). What the clash more specifically is supposed to consist in depends on which version of non-cognitivism one is considering. If moral convictions are taken to be desires, for example, then a moral disagreement can be construed as a case where people have desires which are not jointly satisfiable and thus motivate different courses of  action.[1]
