  But in the context I'm talking about each one of them. OK. As I said, it can be either. I suggest you simply go with what you think suits your meaning better.

  Or perhaps I can keep your original suggestion, with a minor change: "not only about moral beliefs but about all beliefs." I think it's clearer with "all" in italics.  
 First, none may be singular, ritght?  It can be either here. I think plural 'reads better'. 
  But in the context I'm talking about each one of them.

 However, the Pyrrhonist does not have this kind of confidence: he is agnostic , not only about moral beliefs bit about all beliefs 
 How about something like he is agnostic as regards all beliefs, including the moral ones? 
 First, none may be singular, ritght?  It can be either here. I think plural 'reads better'. 
 Second,  I think I could just say "moral positions".  Sounds OK, as long as it's not too general a term for your context.

  Perhaps: "not merely about moral beliefs but about all beliefs in general". I feel that sth. must be added after "all beliefs", but don't know what exactly.  
 4) One might object that the unresolved disagreements that exist among the defenders of moral realism show that moral values are not real. However, the fact that a disagreement is unresolved does not imply that none of the conflicting views I'd say 'are' correct. Even if the disagreements among moral realists were in themselves undecidable, this would not be sufficient reason for denying that moral values are objective, ...</description></item><item><title>Re: Grammar of paragraphs</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GrammarOfParagraphs/cwwqg/post.htm#208993</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:53:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:208993</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><slash:comments>4</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GrammarOfParagraphs/cwwqg/post.htm#208993</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-208993.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi Sextus, 
 1) Annas contends that the view which denies the existence of objective moral values arises from the idea that moral realism conflicts with our knowledge of the world. That is to say, the underlying idea is that the ethical theories that assert the existence of objective moral values conflict with a view of the world which is objective and shared by all, and which affirms the existence of other kinds of entities. OK 
 2) The other line of argumentation put forward by modern moral skepticism does not focus on the apparent shortcomings of moral inquiry. Rather, it advances a particular conception of its subject matter: moral values do not exist independently of us, but are merely our projections. OK
