Quote:I'm not ignoring your answer, I don't find your answer all that clear, so I do my best to tell you how I understand your responses. If my understanding is wrong, then I expect additional clarifications.Sure.
Tell you what might help you understand. Reading.
To quote you: "Goodness and badness are not "stuff" floating around out there. They're designations of what acts belong to conceptual sets and why we think so. "
I take your "stuff floating around out there" to mean: Goodness and badness are stuff that doesn't exist out there in reality, independent of our mental designations of what acts belong to conceptual sets and why we think so. Or am i still misunderstanding you?
Outside of our mental designations, do goodness and badness exist?
