Excerpt from Facts and Values: Studies in Ethical Analysis
When people disagree about the value of something - one saying that it is good or right and another that it is bad or wrong - by what methods of argument or inquiry can their disagreement be resolved 1 Can it be resolved by the methods of science, or does it require methods of some other kind, or is it open to no rational solution at all?
The question must be clarified before it can be answered. And the word that is particularly in need of clarification, as we shall see, is the word disagreement.
Let us begin by noting that disagreement has two broad senses In the first sense it refers to what I shall call disagreement in belief. This occurs when Mr. A believes p, when Mr. B believes not-p, or something incompatible with p, and when neither is content to let the belief of the other remain unchallenged. Thus doctors may dis agree in belief about the causes of an illness; and friends may disagree in belief about the exact date on which they last met.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of ethical judgments, exploring how we determine what is good or bad, right or wrong. Rather than focusing on lofty philosophical theories, the author examines the everyday judgments we make, from casual opinions about someone's character to heated debates about political issues. Through careful analysis of language and the way we use ethical terms like "good" and "bad," the author sheds light on the often hidden complexities of our moral reasoning. This book reveals how these terms carry not just descriptive meaning, but also an "emotive" force that can influence and shape the attitudes of others. By dissecting the role of disagreement in both belief and attitude within ethical arguments, the author challenges the traditional view that science alone can settle moral disputes. This book argues that while scientific knowledge can contribute to ethical discussions, it cannot fully account for the unique way we reason about values. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of ethical judgments, highlighting the powerful role of language and emotion in shaping our moral landscape. It invites us to become more aware of the subtle forces at play when we grapple with questions of right and wrong, encouraging a deeper understanding of ourselves and the complex world of moral decision-making.
