Stevenson's work has been seen both as an elaboration upon Ayer's views and as a representation of one of "two broad types of ethical emotivism."[25][26] An analytic philosopher, Stevenson suggested in his 1937 essay "The Emotive Meaning of Ethical Terms" that any ethical theory should explain three things: that intelligent disagreement can occur over moral questions, that moral terms like good are "magnetic" in encouraging action, and that the scientific method is insufficient for verifying moral claims.[27] Stevenson's own theory was fully developed in his 1944 book Ethics and Language.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5429.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5429.txt
