The Is-Ought Problem, the Open Question Argument, and the New Science of Morality
Original language description
The article deals with a recent attack by Sam Harris on two famous arguments that purport to establish a gap between factual and evaluative statements: Hume?s Is/Ought Problem and Moore?s Open Question Argument. I present the arguments, analyze the relationship between them and critically assess Harris? attempt to refute them. I conclude that Harris? attempt fails.
