Psychology

Fact and Value in Emotion

---

David Hume famously claimed that one cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is,’ or in
less poetic terms, one cannot derive a value from a fact. Hume was arguing that the
imperatives given to our preferences, goals and actions are derived from emotion
and not from logical reasoning. Emotion, therefore, had a prominent place in Hu
-me’s thinking.
