To define the word ‘good’ without assigning a polarity charge is quite a challenge. The word that comes up is ‘appropriateness’ – ‘good’ referring to a quality of ‘appropriateness’ in relation to a particular situation. Also the word ‘specific’ comes up.

New Definition

‘Good’ is a quality of appropriateness and specificity in relation to a particular situation.

 

Please feel free to comment on this blog-post if you see anything that requires adjustment in this definition of the word 'good', so we can together work towards specifying and perfecting it!
