One of the issues is that there’s really nothing at stake. I can continue to go about my business without ever needing to consider either. But this doesn’t mean I am not curious. Well in [this post](https://www.thephilosophyforum.com/t/i-am-a-moral-nihilist/1218/553) you said that you hold essentialist views, albeit conflictedly. > [@Tom\_Storm](#): > > If that’s roughly right, then I can at least see the structure of the view, even if I’m not a “customer”. Yeah, that’s roughly right. 👍 Foot’s 2001 book _Natural Goodness_ is [freely available](https://archive.org/details/naturalgoodness0000foot/page/n7/mode/2up), you just need to log into the website to ‘borrow’ it. Maybe have a look and see what you think. Or we could look at what she says in earlier works if they are available online. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.thephilosophyforum.com/t/furthering-philippa-foot/1367)._
