Colin McGinn on Ethics - Dictionary of Arguments

I 148
Values/Transcendental Naturalism/TN/McGinn: context of our practice of praise and blame with the transcendental naturalism: Kant: (mutatis mutandis) at reasonable praise and blame, it is not necessary that we understand the nature of free will, but that we know about their existence.
McGinn: this is certainly true, but draws our sense of justification in doubt.
Ethical value judgments have a foundation that is unclear and not quite tangible for us, furthermore they transverse cross-like to the categories of understanding which were set up in us.
