If objectivism were true then, given that speakers use {\textquotedblleft}tasty{\textquotedblright}/{\textquotedblleft}not tasty{\textquotedblright} in accordance with a rule, TP, speakers would be using an evidently unreliable method to form judgements and make claims about what is tasty. Since this is implausible, objectivism must be false. In this paper, I describe a context in which speakers deviate from TP. I argue that MacFarlane{\textquoteright}s argument against objectivism fails when applied to uses of {\textquotedblleft}not tasty{\textquotedblright} within this context. So objectivism about {\textquotedblleft}not tasty{\textquotedblright} is still a viable position within this context.}, keywords = {MacFarlane, objectivism, predicates of personal taste, relativism, sociology}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2017/3/405-426.pdf}, author = {Davies, Alex} }
