Assignment task: Imagine the following.
Philosopher Abba tells philosopher Babba: The only intrinsic good is pleasure and the only intrinsic bad (or evil) is pain. Replying to Abba, Babba says, "Your view is false." Babba explains:
"Hey Abba, assuming that at least one thing is intrinsically good and one thing is intrinsically bad, there's only one convincing reason why your view is false. It's simply because other things besides pleasure (e.g., justice) are intrinsically good, and other things besides pain (e.g., injustice) are intrinsically bad. So, for instance, if justice is intrinsically good, then your claim that the only intrinsic good is pleasure is false. Of course, Abba, I might say, instead, that your view is false because nothing is intrinsically good or bad," but this would not be a good rejection of your claim as the view that nothing is intrinsically good or bad itself is without merit."
(A) Assume the following is true: It's false that nothing is intrinsically good and it's false that nothing is intrinsically bad. Is Babba's explanation that there is only one convincing reason why Abba's view is false correct? Answer one of "yes it is correct" or no "it is not correct."
(B) Explain or justify your answer to (A).
