Argument Seminar: Proposal for discussing an argument and a counter argument:

(1) John Searle: How to derive Ought from “is” (1964)
(2) Charles Pigden: Hume on His and Ought (2010)

The so-called “Naturalistic fallacy” has many formulations. We take it as a case of the “is to ought” problem devised by Hume. Two main attacks have been proposed against the Humean view, a logical one, by Arthur Prior (“The Autonomy of Ethics”. Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 1960 38: 199–206;discussed by more than 150 papers) and a pragmatic one, by John Searle (“How to derive ought from is”, The Philosophical Review, Vol. 73, No. 1 (Jan., 1964), pp. 43-58, discussed or quoted by more than 800 papers or books). I propose to read Searle’s paper and a criticism by Charles Pigden (“Hume on His and Ought” in The Oxford Handbook of Hume). As background, it might be useful to read a historical account of the term “Naturalistic Fallacy” (Lorrain Daston, “The Naturalistic Fallacy is modern”. Isis 2014, 105: 579-587) and a very introductory essay (apart § 3.3 with some logic) by Edgard Morscher, “The Descriptive-Normative Dichotomy and the so-called Naturalistic Fallacy”, Analyse & Kritik 2016, 38: 317-337).
