Brandt is an important figure, particularly in meta-ethics. Allan Gibbard, a notable expressivist, says 'it was Richard Brandt who, more than anyone else, led me to my present understanding of ethical theory.' There are 7 references to Brandt in the Blackwell Guide to Ethical Theory. Will add some of this info to the article when I get a chance.FlexibleSceptic (talk) 20:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
