Moral goods are abstract qualities that are considered valuable. They provide the justification for actions. An individual is a cluster of qualities (characteristics, features, properties). For example, this ball is red and round. Since a quality is something that may be shared by two or more individuals, redness and roundness are qualities. Qualities are abstract rather than concrete to the degree that they may be thought of apart from their being had by individuals, Moral goods are valuable abstract qualities. For example, here is a partial list of moral goods: life, friendship, pleasure, happiness, contentment, wisdom, freedom, justice, health, and virtue. They provide the justification for engaging in certain kinds of actions. For example, if you nurse your friend during her illness, you are doing so in order to promote her becoming healthier. If you are successful and she regains her health, your action would be considered morally good.
