But don't most philosophers do that: try to assemble all the other philosophers' positions in a chart while maintaining that his own position is too nuanced to be assigned a point on a chart :)
My tone was facetious, but the content of my sentence above was literal. I don't think it's an advantage that my theory does or doesn't fit neatly on the above chart. It's just that my theory of metaethics doesn't quite have the same aims or subject matter as the theories presented on this chart. But anyway, you'll see what I mean once I have time to finish writing up the sequence...
Perhaps, but another general trend in philosophy seems to be that people spend centuries arguing over definitions. Anyone who points that out will be necessarily making a meta-critique and hence not be a point on a chart (not that lukeprog's theory will necessarily be like that; just have to wait and see).
