What exactly is “moral facts exist” supposed to mean? This whole approach smells off to me—it looks like you’re trying to manipulate your confusion as if it were a known quantity. What metaethical baggage is brought to the table by supposing that “do moral facts exist” is a coherent question at all (assuming you do mean something specific by it)?
Well if I’m totally honest I agree with you, but I’m using analytic methods here since it’s what my intended audience prefers. I’m working around this by engaging deeply with epistemic uncertainty as it’s approached within the analytic tradition, but I also think it smells right now and I haven’t totally figured out how to make my intended cuts using the method.
