Shrinking from any of her father’s attempts to help her adjust, she continues to flatter herself into thinking she is “independent” even though she knows nothing of horses or ranch life. Time after time she blatantly disobeys her father’s instructions, and time after time she barely escapes injury resulting from her poor decisions. Thankfully, in the end, she reforms and realizes how privileged she really is to have a family that loves

As a moral anti-realist Mackie supposes that moral properties cannot exist independently of the mind.…
