Especially in moral theory the term applies to accounts of value that identify goodness in other terms that also have evaluative or normative force: goodness as what it is correct to love, or fitting to admire, or what we have reason to promote. The term is due to the moral philosopher Thomas Scanlon, although theories of this kind had been advanced earlier, particularly by the Cambridge philosopher A. C. Ewing. Critics worry that any alleged benefit of off-loading epistemological, motivational, or metaphysical problems about value onto these other terms is at best local, and temporary.
