El fundamento humeano de la distinción entre cuestiones de hecho y de valor

Abstract

: In his latest work, Dr. Félix A. Lamas addresses the issue of the gap between the is order and the ought order and states that this is the fundament for the distinction between matters of fact and of right and the naturalistic fallacy formulated by Moore 2 . Mainly, he says that the theoretical bases of these distinctions can be found in the first section of the first part of the book III of the Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume. On the present article we pretend to explore in a critical way those bases by exposing Hume’s theory of practical and theoretical knowledge and confronting it with the tradi-tion of classical Aristotelian-Thomist philosophy
