Abstract
This chapter discusses the question what is the nature of the distinctively ethical mode of access to entities such that they have ethical being and there are ethical facts. In answering this question the chapter discusses the basic properties of ethical facts, the domain of the ethical, the nature of the ethical logos in relation to ethical orientation, the nature of reasons and relations of fittingness, the point and function of the thick evaluative concepts, and their relation to virtue and vice concepts. In the course of the latter discussion we show how the view proposed is naturalistic without being scientistic.
