ABSTRACT
The notions of ‘good’ and Value’, whether used in their static meaning, i.e. as correlates of judgments of approval, or in their dynamic aspect, i.e. as correlates of human desires, interest, will and action, are incapable of supplying a self-sufficient and secure basis for a system of ethics. The obligation to ‘produce good’ for ourselves can be interpreted only as an obligation to seek our moral perfection. This obviously cannot be done by overriding the most elementary and self-evident of our duties. The weight of the confirmatory evidence for the objective rightness of our intuitive decision can be measured either by the sheer number of identical intuitive decisions or by the quality of the confirmatory intuitive decisions. Since this quality is not determined either by the content nor by the structure of the intuitive decision, it can only derive from the personal quality of the one whose intuition it is.
