‘Good’ and ‘Good for’
Mind, vol. 96, no. 381, 1987, pp. 71–73
Abstract
Many philosophers claim that ‘good for’ is intelligible, ‘good’ period unintelligible. My view is the opposite. The ‘good’ period is defined as what everyone ought morally to desire and pursue; ‘good for’ is found to be quadruply ambiguous, and the curse of moral philosophy.
