    Key Terms

    Derivative (in philosophy)(in metaphysics)
    Something that depends on or is explained by something else more fundamental—the opposite of foundational or basic.
    Desire-satisfaction framework(in ethics and philosophy of value)
    A theory that says something is good or right when it fulfills what people actually want, and bad when it frustrates their desires.
    Justificatory priority(in epistemology and ethics)
    When one thing is used to give reasons for believing in another thing—like saying 'we can justify our moral rules by pointing to human wellbeing.'
    Objective values(in meta-ethics)
    Moral or evaluative truths that exist independently of what any individual person thinks or wants—like the idea that 'causing unnecessary suffering is genuinely wrong' whether or not anyone agrees.

    foundational pluralism(The passage suggests constrained desire satisfaction views may be covertly committed to this)
    A metaethical position in which there are multiple irreducible sources or criteria of value at the most basic level
