Who was an ethical non-naturalist ?
Answer: A
The ethical non-naturalist is Moore.
In Principia Ethica (1903), G. E. Moore argued that 'good' names a simple, indefinable, non-natural property. Any attempt to define it in natural terms, as pleasure or what we desire, commits the 'naturalistic fallacy', as his open question argument is meant to show.
J. S. Mill is Moore's chief example of a naturalist, since he identifies the good with happiness. Kant grounds morality in practical reason rather than in a theory of a non-natural property good, and Gandhi's ethics is religious and practical, not a position in this debate.
