| Naturalistic fallacy: is described as the error to infer from being to what should be. From the fact that something is the way it is, cannot be concluded that it should be like this. The expression comes from the Principia Ethica by G. E. Moore (1903), but the problem goes much further back and has already been pre-formulated by G. Hume in his “A Treatise of Human Nature” (1738-40). Another name for the problem is the is-ought problem._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Danto III 168 Naturalistic Fallacy/NietzscheVsHume/Nietzsche/Danto: the Humean argument that there is no supposed to follow from being is then only valid when a distinction between two orders of judgement is introduced, between moral facts and not moral facts. However, there are no facts at all for Nietzsche. Instead, there are only interpretations. >Hume, >Interpretation/Nietzsche, >Fact, >Interpretation-philosophy._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
