| Nov 25, 2020 at 9:16 | comment | added | Conifold | Putnam himself names Hume's is/ought guillotine as the point of origin, and enlists the help of his fellow pragmatists in rejecting it:"Beginning in Chapter 2, I argue (following Peirce and the other classical pragmatists) that science itself presupposes values - that epistemic values (coherence, simplicity and the like) are values, too, and in the same boat as ethical values with respect to objectivity". His reference is to Peirce's conception of "normative science" in CP 5.121ff. | |
| Nov 24, 2020 at 19:21 | comment | added | GEP | @conifold Yes it's something alone the lines of the collapse of the fact/value dichotomy. What I had in mind initially was something close to Sellar's connection of "manifest image" to his "scientific image". Did Peirce ever express something close to the fact/value dichotomy(I suppose his pragmatism may be interpreted as something close to that statement)? | |

| Nov 23, 2020 at 22:44 | comment | added | Conifold | "Value/belief is a continuum" does not make much sense without context. Can you provide a reference? Is it something along the lines of Putnam's collapse of the fact/value dichotomy, epistemic values, ethically thick concepts, etc.? | |
