Which philosopher criticized Stevenson's work?

Plato
C.T.K. Chari
Socrates
Friedrich Nietzsche

Answer

C.T.K. Chari, an Indian philosopher, offered a critique of American philosopher Charles Stevenson's emotivist theory of ethics, which holds that ethical judgments express feelings rather than make truth claims. Chari argued that Stevenson's theory fails to account for the cognitive content of ethical judgments and the possibility of rational discourse about moral values.
