Hume's Guillotine sets up an ethical regress problem
#6
RE: Hume's Guillotine sets up an ethical regress problem
...? Aren't qualia by definition subjective? (i.e. my feeling of perceiving redness itself, etc.) Even if they refer to something that is in a sense objectively real, they are about subjective experience, or in other cases, desire. Goal-directedness plays off this, by merely going from one's values and desires to that which will lead one to fulfill it.
