Systematically Episode 06 - The One about the Fact/Value Distinction


Listen Later

This episode finds us safely returned from our trip to Milwaukee, and excited to talk about theology and philosophy! After Robyn gives us a mind-blowing introduction to obscure British comedy albums, we dive into a discussion of the fact/value distinction. Is there a meaningful difference between “is” and “ought”? Do judgments of fact ever occur independent of moral connotations? Did Hobbes have gastrointestinal problems? We explore answers to these and other exciting questions. Ryan shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.
