Other grounds for doubt about the practice of making moral claims

If your doubts aren't well captured by the idea that there's something unrealistic about the kinds of moral claims that political philosophers make, then perhaps they're grounded in one of the other main sources of students' scepticism: scepticism about our authority to make moral claims.

If you're sceptical about our authority to make moral claims, your scepticism might be expressed in something like one of the following concerns:

• Who gets to decide what's right and what's wrong?
• I can't decide for other people what they should do
• You don't have the right to judge other people
