Moral nihilists deny all positive first order moral claims. These are claims that have total polarity that is positive. For example:

  • Killing is good (Positive)
  • Killing is not good(Negative)
  • The statement Killing is good is false (Negative)
  • The statement ‘Killing is not good’ is false (Positive) A fact that doesn’t have any negative terms in it will be positive. This is to prevent contradictions and redundant facts
