I know that I shouldn’t strip a screw, but is it wrong?
GE Moore, open question.
For elaboration, there was a time when Moore contended that any reference to natural properties could be countered with that question. A command, verbal or by nature, is just as much a natural property as harm.
If that were true, then moral propositions couldn’t be reduced to natural properties, harm or command.
I know it hurts, I know there’s a normative prohibition. I know it’s (x) and (y), but is it wrong (z)?
If they can’t appeal to natural properties OR supernatural properties (god commands...) how does a non-naturalist approach answering that question?
