Are There Objective Values? (2 Parts)

Synopsis: In Part 1, Professor Sir Alfred Ayer discusses moral judgements, which are not true or false, nor derivable from facts: they are dependent on human choice, and used both to express attitudes and to encourage others to share them. The classic notion of ‘objectivity’ here is incoherent.
