Definition:
Naturalistic objectivism is a meta-ethical theory according to which the key moral
qualities like "good" and "evil" refer to empirically verifiable characteristics in objects
or events. Thus, for example, hedonism is a form of naturalistic objectivism because it
identifies the "good" with what is "pleasurable," and it is possible to verify that
certain things are indeed pleasurable.
