"A great deal of the moral philosophy of the last
hundred years has been devoted to trying to understand “the relation between
‘is’ and ‘ought’. On the one side, when we are engaged in genuine moral
reasoning and debite, we seen to take it for granted that various factual
claims support judgments about we ought or ought not to do. We even seem to
regard some such judgments as true (and othres as false). On the other side,
when we reflect on such judgments, it seems difficult indeed to see how either
of these things could be straightforwardly the case, in view of the very great
difference between factual and evaluative (or normative) judgments"

“oughts” are not Facts (or What the Tortoise and Achilles Taught Mrs.
Ganderhoot and Me about Practical Reason), “Mind”, 416, 1995, p. 713)
