Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Morton White develops a theory concerning the connection between our beliefs about what ought to be done and our descriptive beliefs. The theory is worked out in detail, illustrated, and contrasted with views that rely on the obscure notion of meaning employed by those who try to define 'ought' in terms of 'is' and to deduce normative statements from descriptive statements.
