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

7624	The word 'inconsiderate' nicely shows the blurring of facts and values [Putnam]
	Full Idea: The use of the word 'inconsiderate' seems to me a very fine example of the way in which the fact/value distinction is hopelessly fuzzy in the real world and in the real language.

	A reaction: Interesting, but not much of an argument. What would Nietzsche say? Was Agamemnon morally deficient because we might think him 'inconsiderate'?
