BINGO!
And there you have it. Nobody is completely satisfied with a tautology.
Thus, it takes a second order explanation to avoid Tarski's undefinability theorem.
The physicist needs a quantum physicist to explain 'charge';
The sociologist needs an evolutionary biologist to explain 'inequality'; and
The ‘moral scientist’ needs a best-practivist to explain 'injustice'.
Although, to be more precise, a best-practivist is more focused on the proximate 'why'... one still needs an evolutionary biologist for the ultimate 'why'.
If anyone wants a best-practice explanation of morality, let me know. Consultant rates apply.
