Can Young’s constructive ecumenical expressivism resolve the gamer’s dilemma?

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to evaluate a potential resolution to the gamer’s dilemma that arises from Gary Young’s metaethical theory of constructive ecumenical expressivism (CEE).

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, the gamer’s dilemma is reformulated as a paradox and the potential resolution is evaluated in light of this new formulation.

Findings

The author argues that this resolution does resolve the dilemma, but CEE itself has limited appeal.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to the growing scholarship dedicated to resolving the gamer’s dilemma.
