Moral philosophers since [[David Hume]] have debated whether values are objective, and thus factual. In [[A Treatise of Human Nature]] [[Hume]] pointed out that there is no obvious way for a series of statements about what ought to be the case to be derived from a series of statements of what is the case. Those who insist that there is a logical gulf between facts and values, such that it is fallacious to attempt to derive values from facts, include [[G. E. Moore]], who called attempting to do so the [[Naturalistic Fallacy]].

the fetish of factualized [[truth]], fossilized truth, the iron band of so-called unchanging truth, holds one blindly in a closed circle of cold fact. One can be technically right as to '''fact''' and everlastingly wrong in the [[truth]].[http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper48.html#6. MORONTIA WORLD SERAPHIM--TRANSITION MINISTERS]
