The Is-Ought Problem in Ethical Naturalism
Quick fact
David Hume first identified the is-ought problem in his 1739 book A Treatise of Human Nature, calling it a 'trivial remark' that would subvert 'all the vulgar systems of morality'.
Why this is interesting
You've likely heard that you 'can't get an ought from an is.' But what if morality is just a fact about the world? That's the core tension in ethical naturalism.
