E.G. Moore on Ethics - Dictionary of Arguments
Stegmüller IV 172 Objectivity/Ethics/Mackie: However, there is a level of objectivity in the question of what are generally accepted measures of value. >Objectivity, >Values, >Noncognitivism/Cognitivism, >Acceptability. Stegmüller IV 173 This corresponds to a second-level subjectivism. This is supported by: 1. Relativity argument: we meet different moral rule systems in the world. Objectivism would have to characterize all but one as an error. >Subjectivism, >Objectivism, >Subjectivity, >Emotivism, >Relativism. Stegmüller IV 175 2. Peculiarity argument: whoever believes in objective values and norms must take this belief seriously. This leads to peculiar entities such as "shouldbedone", "shouldnotbedone", etc. >Norms. Representatives: Moore: Values are "nonnatural qualities". They demand a special ability of insight. (Detectiveism, "Euthyphro", intuitionism).> >Euthyphro, >Detectivism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
