Abstract

We often describe actions as good, bad, right, wrong, fair, unkind, deserved, disrespectful, a bit much , and so on. This article asks: Do these terms describe facts about our actions? And do those facts tell us to perform certain actions and refrain from performing others? If so, what exactly does that mean? And, if not, what are we doing when we describe actions in these various ways? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
