universalizable
{ 1 } - Known truth that requires no further proof or justification
{ 2 } - "Good" is indefinable, there are objective moral truths, and the basic moral truths are self-evident to a mature mind.
{ 3 } - "X is good" is an emotional exclamation (not a truth claim), and means "Hurrah for X!"
{ 4 } - "You ought to do this" is a universalizable prescription (not a truth claim); it means "Do this and let everyone do the same in similar cases"
{ 5 } - Judgment that logically commits us to making a similar judgment about similar cases
