22. Metaethics / B. Value / 1. Nature of Value / b. Fact and value

4135	Some ethical ideas, such as 'treachery' and 'promise', seem to express a union of facts and values [Williams,B]
	Full Idea: Some 'thicker' ethical notions, such as 'treachery', 'promise', 'brutality' and 'courage', seem to express a union of facts and values.
	From: Bernard Williams (Ethics and the Limits of Philosophy [1985], Ch. 8)
	A reaction: The onus does seem to be on the followers of Hume to disentangle what the rest of us have united. They may, of course, manage it.
