self-evident truth (first principle)
{ 1 } - What is good in itself, abstracting from further consequences
{ 2 } - Known truth that requires no further proof or justification
{ 3 } - Statement that is testable by sense experience (and thus can in principle be shown by sense experience to be true or at least highly probable)
{ 4 } - Moral judgments, while they express emotions and not truth claims, are rational to the extent that they are informed and impartial
{ 5 } - Linguistic form, like "Shut the door," that tells what to do instead of making a truth claim
