Argument of the open question/good/definition/Moore: Assuming, someone said "good" can be defined as "promoting the joy of life".
Then we could still understand the question: "admittedly, it promotes the joy of life, but is it also good?".
Conclusion: "good" must mean a simple, non-analytic, non-natural quality.
StegmüllerVsMoore: this can only refer to the moral goodness.
Cf. >Good/Plato, >Definitions, >Definability.
Stegmüller IV 182
We might still suspect that there are common meaning cores in moral and non-moral contexts.
>Morals, >Ethics, >Cognitivism, >Norms, >Community, >Society, >Discourse.
Stegmüller IV 186
"Good"/Moore/open question/Mackie/Stegmüller: the solution of Moore's problem: those requirements with regard to whether x is good are not identical with those for which we have already admitted that x satisfies them.
Vs: some believe that only the assumption of objective values could resist the argument of the open question. Only from the standpoint of "overall reality" all requirements are taken into consideration.
>Objectivity.
MackieVs: it is a deceptive hope that there might be something that could satisfy all conceivable kinds of requirements.},
