In his 1977 book, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong, John Mackie presented and defended a moral error theory, according to which moral judgments are all false. But he also believed that they are too useful to abandon, so he urged us to continue using them. This is moral fictionalism. Others, who also believe that moral judgments are false, think that morality is not so useful, and so they encourage us to abandon moralizing and rely on alternative and less duplicitous ways to impose our wills. This is moral abolitionism.
