Ought-Is
Question
Many times when the Rabbi talks about the naturalistic fallacy, he means the problem of deriving facts from norms. On Wikipedia https://he.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9B%D7%A9%D7%9C_%D7%A0%D7%98%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%99 I saw that this problem is defined differently—as the is-ought problem. Does the Rabbi disagree?
Answer
I do not disagree. That is the common term, and in the philosophical community they usually use it in that sense. I have no interest in semantics.
