- Argument_from_queerness abstract ""The argument from queerness" is a term used in the philosophical study of ethics first developed by J. L. Mackie in his book Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong ISBN 0-14-013558-8 (1977).Mackie argues against the view that there can be objective ethical values by noting the queer or strange consequences belief in such values implies. The argument is an argument from personal incredulity roughly in the form of a modus tollens. If P then Q. But Q is implausible (or "queer"), so P is implausible.He states that "If there were objective values, then they would be entities or qualities or relations of a very strange sort, utterly different from anything else in the universe (1977, p. 38)". Since he rejects the queer (that which seems prima facie implausible) then it for all those who also find such entities queer, there is reason to doubt the existence of objective values.".
