There is a crucial difference between SN and WM. According to SN, moral sentences have truth values. According to WM, they do not. This follows from the fact that according to WM, each moral sentence has two meaning components. One component is factual. It is the assertion that the speaker has a certain attitude. This part has a truth value. But the other component is a command. Commands are neither true nor false.

However, even if naturalists were to admit that they have not proved their view to be true, thev might still claim that it is true anyway. So in the second stage of his attack, Moore attempts to show that every form of naturalism is false.
