Ima rejects the idea of objective moral truths. He holds, rather, that we use "good" and "bad" to talk about our positive and negative feelings. Nothing is objectively good or bad in itself, apart from our feelings.

Ima says that we laugh at a joke and call it "funny" -- as if funniness were an objective property of things. We have a feeling of strangeness about something and call it "weird" -- as if weirdness were an objective property. Similarly, we like something and call it "good" -- as if goodness were an objective property of the thing. He says that subjectivists aren't fooled by this grammatical illusion.
