### Companions in Guilt
P1) If error theory is true then there are no categorical moral norms.
(P→¬Q)
P2)
If there are no square-circle norms, then there are no categorical epistemic norms.
(¬Q→¬R)
P3)
There are categorical epistemic norms.
(R)
C)
Therefore, error theory is false and there are categorical moral norms.
(∴¬P∧Q)
