 To a first approximation, analytic naturalism holds the following: There are many statements containing moral terms that we find obvious or intuitive—moral platitudes, if you will. These statements constitute a sort of folk moral theory. Here are some examples: “intentional killing is normally wrong”, “pain is bad”, “virtuous people are more likely to do the right thing than vicious people”, “a person who judges that she ought to do something normally feels some motivation to do it”. Collectively, such statements fix the reference of moral terms, i.e., they determine what moral terms refer to. If a person denied enough of these statements, we would conclude that the person did not use moral terms with the same meaning as the rest of us. According to analytic naturalism, moral terms have their meaning holistically, as a result of the role they play in the system of moral statements that make up folk morality. Significantly, many of these statements relate moral properties to each other, as does the statement that virtuous people are more likely to do the right thing.
