Justified True Moral facts are derivative from a Moral Framework and System just like scientific knowledge, facts & truths emerged from the scientific FSK.Peter Holmes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 9:22 am I don't 'conflate' the chemistry FSK with the moral FSK.
THERE IS NO MORAL FSK.
And that's because there are no moral facts.
Yes, we can empirically test for behavioral consistency with a moral standard. But to call that subjectively chosen moral standard a 'justified moral fact' begs the whole question.
The theistic moral approach is a theistic moral framework and system, e.g. Christianity, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, etc.
So is the Platonist moralists with their Platonic moral FSK.
The other moral FSKs are that of the deontologists, the utilitarianists, the consequentialists, the tribal moralists, and any groups that has a set of moral principles.
So what is a moral system?
What is a Moral System?

An moral system is a system of coherent, systematic, and reasonable principles, rules, ideals, and values which work to form one’s overall perspective.
Not just any rules, of course, but moral values?
Each one of you has a moral system to some extent although most probably do not have an ethical system.
In your justification or argumentative essay you are asked to choose an ethical system (for example, utilitarian ethics, Kantian ethics, etc.) and to use that system in your essay to defend your moral rule or system.
In order to satisfactory do this, you need to understand what a moral system is.
Your moral system is your morality.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that not all moral system are equally good any more than all opinions are equally good.
The following is a dialogue, carried on by two half-baked ethicists, concerning the nature of a moral system.

Just google and there are loads of leads to 'what is a moral system' within its specific framework.Evolution and Construction of Moral Systems
A moral system is an adaptive system for conflict management based on prescriptive, internalized social rules.
We decompose moral systems into the sense of fairness, moral judgments, and rules at the aggregate level.
We explore how each of these levels is constructed, including how this process is influenced by cognitive and organizational constraints and social architecture.
We consider feedback across these levels as well as the implications of partial time-scale separation for reducing uncertainty about behavioral outcomes.
We suggest that an appropriate theoretical framework for treating these issues is an extended theory of niche construction.

Adding the term 'framework' to a moral system makes it more encompassing with other relevant features which strengthen the moral system.
The Moral FSK is as credible as the scientific FSK which has the following features of credibility and reliability;
The Credibility and Reliability of the Scientific FSK,
Analogy and how moral facts emerge from inside a moral FSK,
When a scientific 'oughtness' [scientific fact] is input within a moral FSK, and after processing with other inputs, what emerges from inside the moral FSK is a moral fact.
An analogy is the legal FSK which get its input from scientific facts and other inputs to be processed via the legal FSK and the output is a legal fact, e.g.
X is convicted of the murder of Y and is sentenced to death.

How is a Human-based Moral FSK Objective?
Reality, facts, truths, knowledge and Objectivity are conditioned upon a specific human-based FSR-FSK.
The human-based scientific FSK is the most credible, reliable and objective at present.
The human-based moral FSK has near equivalence objectivity to the scientific-FSK because almost all of its critical inputs are from the scientific FSK.
Thus the human-based moral FSK enables the realization and emergence of objective moral facts which is subsequently perceive, known and described, then applied as a guide only.
Therefore the human-based FSK morality is highly objective.
