Philosophy Topic regarding the Good?
Does the Analytic method of philosophy offer a definition of "good."

Kant tried to, but ultimate came up lacking
analytical analysis assesses a system as being consistent or not; "goodness" is a judgment call within a system.
Therefore
NO
unless you define the one, the true, the good as being essentially the same entity
so, if your a priori assumptions define it as such; no proof/analysis is necessary.

Life is an energy machine that replicates.
Nature is the COMPETITION between these machines.
Love/Society is the COOPERATION between these machines to the end of winning the competition.
Morality is the list of rules required to sustain Society/Love
(Typically variations of the Golden Rule)
Good is when the energy flows the way you want it too.
Evil is when it does not.
