This is a nice way of putting things. As long as we're clear that what makes it a prescription is the fact that it is an ideal for the non-ideal agent.
Do you think this helps the cause of naturalism?
Yes.Well, it helps with my crusade to show that objective morality can be based on pure reason (abstract reasoning is rather apt for dealing with ideals; it is much easier to reason about a perfect circle than a wobbly, hand-drawn one).
