Krimel said: I think "betterness" is not a word and for good reason.
dmb says: I think there are good reasons why "betterness" is a word we can use. It's like "good" is a word we usually just use to say something nice about a thing, but in philosophy its more like THE Good. Then it becomes a noun. The second one is a little better, we're looking for a word that that doesn't make goodness itself just sit there like a mountain. The word "better" itslef is too dependent on context, too relational. But "betterness" is like the Good, but it implies a sense of movement. "Betterness" describes a general direction that can be applied to any context and any relation. It's like the universal motive. _________________________________________________________________ Exercise your brain!
