Anywho, lol. One of the interesting wrinkles since these positions have been staked out.
Non natural realism has always operated on the notion of “the bad” being an abstract ideal. Apprehended and held by the mind but physically unattached to any natural object.
Today, it’s becoming more and more difficult to stake out exactly what the difference is between an idea and a natural object. The former looking a lot like a description of the latter held in state, in a brain. A flawed description of the position of so many tumblers in a biological lock.
It’s become unclear what is supposed to be non natural in non natural realism. That’s the main failure of the semantics in contemporary moral theory. One of the things that lead to it’s abandonment in favor of natural realism.
As a position, it may reduce to nothing more than our confusion and incomplete internal model of our own brains operation. That wouldn’t make it any less accurate a description of our experience if moral reasoning, even though it would necessitate it’s failure as a metaphysical position.
