I 108
Definition Euthyphro/Plato ("Eutyphro contrast") Realist, Socrates:
certain actions are liked by gods because they are pleasing to God.
The gods have the ability to recognize the property, the property of Godliness is one thing, to track it another. This is the "detectivistic" version. Extension falls apart.
Contrary to this:
Anti-realist, Eutyphro:
certain actions are pleasing to god because they are liked by gods
This is constitutively dependent on the opinion of the gods, not to explore epistemically, not independent of the opinions. The "because" here is conceptual, "projectivistic".
Extension: coincides here.
Realist/Dummett: certain statements (in the questioned discourse) are super-asserting, because they are true.
(Constitutive independence of truth of the super-assertibility).
>
Assertibility.
Anti-realist: such statements are true because they are super-assertible.
>
Superassertibility, >
Antirealism.

Euthyphro/Plato: Certain actions are pleasing to God, because the gods like them (awarding of a predicate, projection).
Counter position: Realism: they are liked, because they are pleasing to God: Here something is detected, there is an ability, it is "detectivistic".
Color/Johnston: shape is read detectivistically, color projectivistically.

Euthyphro/Wright: basic equation:
For all S, P: P if and only if (CS, then RS)
S: each actor "P": all the judgments of a very broad class of judgments;
"RS": expresses that S shows a certain relevant reaction;
"CS": fulfillment of certain optimality conditions for that particular reaction.
The fulfillment of the conditions C through S ensures that no other circumstances of an alternative could give a greater credibility.
Basic equation/Mark Johnston: E.g. x is square if and only if x is seen by standard observers under standard conditions as square. - This also applies for red.
>
Standard conditions.
Shape/color/Johnston: central difference: shape: gets detectivistic - color: is read projectivistically.
Moral discourse: this discours is like the discourse about color.

Euthyphro/projectivistic:> a priori knowledge - detectivistic: not a priori, not analytical.
