"Is" and "Ought": Moral Judgments about the World as Understood

Wainryb, Cecilia

New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n103 p3-18 2004

While abiding by the injunction against deriving "ought" statements from "is" statements, the author considers ways in which the "is" bears on the "ought." Persons, it is proposed, make moral judgments and decisions about the world as they understand it to be.
