Might that be an “evaluative premise”....?
What sort of premise might you need to express a descriptive statement? Something like “x is......”.....?
Moral statements, fully expressed and cogently formed, take a descriptive premise and apply an evaluative premise in order to produce a normative inference.
That’s how subjectivist and objectivist moral reasoning works.
Notice that there are no gods in either case?
Read what you said.
Saying stealing is bad is a normative statement, not a descriptive one as you indicated.
Descriptive statements don’t say whether things are good or bad.
To quote you, so you don’t forget what you said: “ Stealing is wrong...is...a descriptive statement.”
