    Challenges→On teleological views, the evaluative is prior to the deontic.

    If deontic facts can be self-evident without grounding in evaluative facts, then the explanatory relationship asserted by teleological views is not necessary.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Deontic facts (facts about obligations) can be known through rational intuition without deriving them from evaluative facts about goodness.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If deontic facts are self-evident and knowable independently, then grounding them in teleological evaluative facts becomes metaphysically dispensable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Teleological views require a causal or explanatory link between value and obligation; independent deontic self-evidence breaks this required link.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Self-evidence is epistemically important but does not entail metaphysical independence; deontic facts can seem self-evident yet depend on evaluative facts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Teleological necessity concerns why deontic facts obtain metaphysically, not whether we can know them without explicit evaluative reasoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates justification (how we know) with grounding (what makes facts true), so deontic self-evidence leaves teleological grounding untouched.
