Non-Naturalism (AQA A-Level Religious Studies): Flashcards

Moral facts exist but can't be defined by natural properties

Deriving 'ought' from 'is' without moral premises

Simple and unanalysable, cannot be defined

'Good' can't be defined using simpler concepts, like yellow

Moral knowledge from fundamental intuitions, not inference

Developed intuitionism with prima facie duties

'At first face' - duties absolute unless they conflict

Keep promises, not injure, return favours, protect innocent

Intuitions may be unconscious acceptance of societal norms

Good = what contributes to human flourishing
