Fitzjames Stephen’s theory of these concepts was popularized by a philosopher who argued that it avoided the “Ionian Fallacy,” according to which every question has only one true answer. That philosopher’s collection Vico and Herder argues that these concepts are not only incompatible but incommensurable. T. M. Scanlon’s argument that invoking these concepts is an act of “buck-passing” popularized the fitting attitude theory of them. These concepts are the subject of (*) Isaiah Berlin’s pluralism. The claim that “there are no objective” examples of these concepts begins a book that makes the argument from queerness and defends moral error theory. Axiology studies these concepts in a broader context than metaethics. For 10 points, facts are often distinguished from what concepts that name judgements of good and evil? ■END■
