Stealing is wrong. K, no gods here.
You shouldn’t do wrong. K, no gods here.
Therefore you shouldn’t steal. Still no gods.
Stealing is wrong...is...a descriptive statement.
You shouldn’t steal is a normative statement. The product of a descriptive statement and an evaluative premise.
That...is.....the.....is.....ought......dilemma.
Understand? I’m not concerned with most people’s understanding, particularly if you’re the barometer. Are you, or are you trying to improve your understanding?
Is your “objection” - fuck man, a lot of people don’t get this subject or it’s terms that a lot of people aren’t interested in and don’t have the patience for- ?
Yeah, no shit, and you’re one of them.
Wrong:
“Descriptive statement: give an account of how the world is without saying it’s good or bad.
Normative statements: express an evaluation, saying something is good or bad, better or worse relative to some standard or alternative. “
