The Ethical Emotivism of a. J. Ayer And C. L. Stevenson: A Tendentious Explanatory Matrix for Human Homosexual Behaviour
This work is expository, analytic, comparative and evaluative, in its methodology. The objective is to interrogate the emotive ethical theories of A. J. Ayer, and C. L. Stevenson, in relation to the phenomenon of homosexuality, in order to ascertain whether or not the causative factors and justificatory reasons of same-sex tendencies, orientations and behaviours can be adequately accounted for, within the context of the emotive or psychical dimension of the human person. In other words, what is pivotal here is whether or not the emotive ethical theories (non-cognitivism) offer a robust conceptual grid and interpretative framework, for engaging in any demanding and rewarding discourse on the issue of human homosexual behavior.
