    It is not the case that If the space of possible goodmaking properties is non-naturalistic and open-ended, no principled argument can establish that known properties are near-exhaustive.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.A property space can be non-naturalistic yet still constrained by conceptual coherence, making exhaustiveness arguments viable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Open-endedness describes epistemic possibility, not metaphysical actuality; fewer properties may suffice for grounding all value facts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.We can establish near-exhaustiveness pragmatically via explanatory sufficiency without claiming metaphysical completeness.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Non-naturalistic properties exist outside empirical discovery methods, so exhaustiveness requires non-empirical justification we lack.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Open-ended spaces logically permit infinite additions; any finite list of properties leaves conceptual room for further unknowns.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without closure principles grounding the space, we cannot rule out unknown properties as merely redundant or derivative.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
