Yvain's Parable of the Heartstone is by far the best explanation of metaethics that I have read. (I am actually surprised how much better I find it than other explanations. Does anyone know of something of similar quality that addresses the same things?)

That whole FAQ is one of my favorite documents ever. It's certainly the best explanation/defense of utilitarianism and consequentialism that I've ever seen.
