Czeżowski’s axiological concepts as full-fledged modalities

This short note provides a tentative formalization of Czeżowski’s ideas about axiological concepts: Good and Evil are conceived of as modalities rather than as predicates. A natural account of the resulting “ethical logic” appears to be very close to standard deontic logic. If one does not resolve to become an antirealist regarding moral values, a possible way out is to become a revisionist about deontology: convert to intuitionism or other kind of revisionism for deontic logic, and remain classical for ethical logic. Existence, goodness, and beauty, are not conceived in representations as are characters of objects, but are affirmed in judgments or evaluations.
