The discussion about the meaning and function of the term good is a central question for most ‘analytic’ philosophers up to the recent ‘ontological’ turn of J. L. Mackie: metaethics is today not only a linguistic analysis since deals with several different questions, although attention to language and meaning still plays — or should play — a central role in the analytic tradition.
