“…As Hare [1952, p. 82] put it, "Talking about the supernatural is no prophylactic against 'naturalism'." And it should also be noted that the response in question is offered particularly in reaction to Blackburn [1971Blackburn [ , 1985, in the first of which the combination of even especially, indeed weak supervenience with a failure of the subjacent properties 92 to entail the supervenient properties is held to be bad news for an advocate of realism about the latter, essentially because such a position allows no explanation for the absence of the 'mixed worlds' discussed earlier; an argument like that Blackburn presents (though credited by him to Casimir Lewy) supervenience as a problem for moral realism is extracted by Horgan and Timmons from the writings of J. L. Mackie and developed by them in [Horgan and Timmons, 1992]. (As well as these references, see [Lewis, 1985, p. 165 [Stalnaker, 2003, p. 92] "According to Moore, natural properties entail evaluative properties," seems inappropriate, given the way Moore himself had introduced the terminology of entailment into philosophy in the first place as standing for the converse of deducibility which rather unfits it for use here, given Stalnaker's continuation of this remark: "but the necessary connection between natural and evaluative is synthetic and 92 R.
