- 1. The moral drive is a subset of Reality, i.e. "IS" - justified empirically
2. Moral Oughts are subsets of the Moral Drive. - justified empirically within moral FSK.
3. Moral oughts are subsets of "IS" - deductively
4. Therefore there are moral oughts from "is-es" - deductively
This is very evident empirically from the point that morality aka ethics is one of the core subjects of philosophy and prevalent in all cultures, traditions, religions, etc.
The moral drive is not about the supposedly moral opinions, beliefs, judgments and decisions made by individuals or groups.
What is the moral drive is the embedded force that drives morally and represented by its neural and physical correlated inherited via the human DNA/RNA.
What drives tantamount to what ought to be driven.
Analogy to Sex-Drive.
The analogy of the moral drive is like that of the sex-drive which is represented by by its neural and physical correlated inherited via the human DNA/RNA.
The inherent sex-drive is distinctly different from sexual feeling, opinions, beliefs, judgments and decisions made by individuals or groups.
The basic sex-drive is common to both males and females but manifested into different sexual expressions of heterosexuality, homosexuality, bestiality, various sex perversions, rapes, etc.
Even those who are asexual and celibate still has the sex-drive except it is not active because of damage, suppression etc.
The sex-drive as explained above is analogically similar to the moral drive.
The difference is the sex-drive is primal and activated in the early phases of evolution, while the moral drive was embedded early but is activated in the later phases of evolution, i.e. it is even later than the intelligence-drive.
The moral drive is thus a biological fact first and then a moral fact when justified empirically within moral FSK.
2. Moral Oughts are subsets of the Moral Drive. - justified empirically within moral FSK.
Whatever is a moral ought as a moral fact must be verified and justified empirically & philosophically within a credible moral framework and system [FSK].
As such, whatever is a moral ought from the moral drive is a moral fact.
From the above, there can be no denial, the inherent moral oughts exist as moral facts, i.e. are "is-es"
