Naturalism is the view that
{ 1 } - there is no God.
{ 2 } - we can explain ethics without appealing to anything beyond science.

This isn't what Moore means by "naturalism."

This is close, but not exactly what Moore means.
Emotivists think that "good" expresses emotions, not truths. Although they explain ethics without appealing to anything beyond science, they aren't "naturalists" in Moore's sense.

This is what Moore rejects.
"Good" doesn't mean "desired," for example, because we can significantly ask "Are all things that are desired good?" This doesn't mean "Are all things that are desired desired?"
