 The core idea is that the truth of Analytic explains the truth of the supervenience thesis that it embeds (Intuitive Metaphysical). On this account, the ethical and the base properties covary because it is definitional of ‘ethical’ that nothing could count as an ethical property unless it covaried in this way. This strategy claims to meet the bruteness challenge: the necessary connection is explained by the way a property would have to be, in order to be what we talk about when we talk about ethical properties (cf. Stratton-Lake and Hooker 2006).
