Good is a noun. But is it an object? I fear objectifying good because now you can cut it up and dissect it with your analytic knife. And if if you say all nouns are objects then I object.
How about gravity? Gravity is a noun, but is it an object? It's a force that exists between objects and defines their relations, but is it itself an object? If gravity ain't an object, then neither is quality. All I need in metaphysics is what I learn on a roller coaster.
