Hi Struan,
You asked the following questions:
1. Is direct everyday experience synonymous with intuition?
Yes, so long as intuition is defined as immediate apprehension prior to
any divisions by intellect (not to be confused with “hunch”).
2. Can we ascertain what is good from empirical evidence?.
Yes, so long as empirical evidence isn’t limited just to the five biological
senses but includes a sense of value.
3. If we can, then how.?
You and every other entity instinctively knows what’s good. Every act is
an expression of the good at one level or another.
4. How does 2 and 3 square with non-naturalism?
As I understand it, non-naturalism says the good is indefinable, but
knowable. So it squares with 2. and 3.
Now Struan it’s your turn. How do you answer the questions you’ve
posed? Where do you stand on the naturalism vs. non-naturalism
question vis-a-vis the MoQ?
