Abstract

From an agreement with the analytical critique of the naturalistic fallacy (from a reinterpretation of the position of Hume, and an exposition of the doctrine in Moore and the analytical philosophy) the author shows that in the case of a descriptive statement about the human life as such (as a human being responsible by his/her life it self), this type of statement is also “implicit” normative. “Make explicit” this normative (Random) aspect of the descriptive statement is not an analytical incorrect deduction of a normative statement from a descriptive one. It is not a case of naturalistic fallacy.
