Is Moral Nihilism a Morality?

[SenseMaker007]

Goodness is a natural property is also not a normative statement (for whatever that's worth - dictive...indifference...of...logic.....), and yet natural realism is a normative moral system.

You can't use an example of something else that is not a normative statement as a reason for why something provides a normative statement.

You're supposed to be explaining how ethical nihilism does make a moral statement. I never denied moral content. I deny that ethical nihilism implictly makes a normative statement because if it did it wouldn't be ethical nihilism. Ethical nihilism states that normatives are false or not truth apt and stating that X is false or that X is not truth apt is not a normative statement.

 

There is no rule or logic behind the insistence that a given sentence be normative in order for normatives to be coherently derived from the system.

And I never claimed anything of the sort. In fact I have repeatedly pointed out that that is not what I'm saying. You are repeatedly failing to misunderstand what I'm saying.

These are the sorts of non rules I'm referring to.

Non-rules that I repeatedly denied and never stated, then?

Physician, heal thyself.

Sophist, become logical.

You seem repeatedly unable to differentiate two similar claims.

I think you mentioned (in reference to some criticism of me, ofc, lol....) that it wasn't really important whether we agreed (or disagreed, I assume) - but that the reasons for our agreement were important and that we should look into why we think what we do.

Yes, I did say that. Meaning, that it's the logic that matters rather than the premise or the conclusion. But it's also not logical to have a contradictory premise. The important thing is logical consistency ... and not spouting irrelevancies. I make assertions and you make assertions but I can back mine up and address yours. But you can't do that for me, that's the difference.
