Well, I do apologize for not reading 192 pages before responding (in my defense, neither did anyone else). But the excerpt that you deemed representative of Greene’s work (and your commentary) did not show any assimilation of Haidt’s insights, so why should I have believed the rest of the dissertation would fill such a gaping hole?
The excerpt you just posted doesn’t seem to help either. Okay, he did in fact read Haidt. Do his responses to Haidt enable Greene to show how people are incorrectly viewing and classifying moral statements? If not, my original point stands.

I’m not sure you needed to. You just needed to read this bit of Roko’s excerpt properly:
In the previous chapter we concluded, in spite of common sense, that moral realism is false. This raises an important question: How is it that so many people are mistaken about the nature of morality?
The subsequent excerpts are aimed at the second purpose; not the first. (At least until Roko inteprets them in support of first at the end of the OP; but in context it seems reasonable to think they buttress the case against realism here, even if they don’t provide a stand-alone justification for it.)

I did. Just not very thoroughly.
You would probably benefit from reading Greene’s introduction chapter where he summarizes his argument.
I’d benefit even more if you wrote a better summary ;-)
