23688	Noncognitivism tries to avoid both naturalism and mysterious morality [Hacker-Wright]
	Full Idea: Noncognitivism is an attempt to avoid the alleged problems of naturalism without the mysteries of Moore's non-naturalism.
	From: John Hacker-Wright (Philippa Foot's Moral Thought [2013], 1)
	A reaction: R.M. Hare is the best example of this approach. Moore's Open Question argument was said to prove the Naturalistic Fallacy, which imagined that morality could be a feature of nature. It led Moore to platonism. I prefer Philippa Foot.
