Moral Oughts

[Acrobat]

Realism doesn’t negate any materialistic account of the world.  It doesn’t even need one.

Materialistic accounts are just immensely useful for describing phenomena.

The whiff comes from listening to religious people butcher realism.  It’s frustrating.  We end up acting as-if we were realists anyway.

I was referring to what Wittgenstien was highlighting, regarding moral absolutes.

I agree moral realism defined by you doesn't negate any materialistic account of the world. 

Since according to your definition, this is just another way of saying, "description of harm done or harm avoided doesn't negate any materialistic account of the world". I agree.
