- Description
- That sound moral decision-making has to be grounded in a solid understanding of facts has long been a central tenet of bioethics. In addition, that there is a sharp distinction between facts and values, between ‘is’ and ‘ought’, and a concomitant sharp division of labor between empirical inquiries that establish facts and normative inquiries that establish values and norms has long been a central tenet of what Kon (2009) calls the “classical philosophical methods” that comprise the “ethical framework” of bioethics.
