The phenomenological derivation of oughts and shalls from ises or why it is right to take the stairs
pp. 83-88
Abstract
The impossibility of logically deriving "oughts," i. e., norms or, better, evaluational propositions, from "ises," i. e., theoretical or, better, cognitional propositions, is now widely accepted. That a great deal of effort has been devoted to this question of derivation nevertheless suggests that something has been dimly glimpsed. Perhaps the derivability is other than directly logical.
