In terms of what is a moral statement a truth value? Further, what does it mean to say that it's not reducible to other sorts of judgements?

Sure, I'll tag along. Is that something you wanted to survey?

Maybe time to grow some pigs and make farm money. Pigs are a great pets too.

Pigs just make some noise; but, they're really just harmless.

It never seemed to be an issue until, well never really. It's a community anyways.

Dang Kripke died last year, and now Harry Frankfurt is reaching that age... (93) Old guard is disappearing.

There's also "pighead". I think the Brits use it too with the Yankees.

I thought that the gist with Moore was in pointing out that the naturalistic fallacy constantly occurs when surveying what is "good".

You can also find the story of Pinocchio as an interesting parable somewhat related to this thread.

Is this Erich Fromm? And if so, as I read most of the OP, is logotherapy a solution to our purposeless lives that we engender in modern society?

That's verging on the naturalistic fallacy.

Yes, I have heard this one. It's usually said, in the performative 'sweating like a pig'.

Is there a saying in Spanish that talks about the kindness or the big heart of a pig?

There's a lot to learn about us regarding our long relationship with pigs.

So, the axiology of good is what Moore advocated. I'd have to read about that... Got sources?

I'm asking mainly, what constitutes labeling an act or deed as good, and how that qualifier arises in our description of ethics.

Yes. I think it's true. What do you think about whether it's right or wrong and why?

So, what's the consensus of the good in ethics? Moore proposed a form of consequentialism in terms of the good. Do you agree with him?

Oh sorry, I misunderstood you. So, you say that it's dependent of the evaluative context. Do you have any criteria to propose? Mostly epistemic?

I think I can see what your saying. In that, treating good in the excluded of what is bad?

Assuming @"bert1" is a Kantian, does it follow that which is willed, is the good?
