There Are Genuine Ethical, And Ultimately Metaphysical, Concerns Underlying The Worries About Ought And
There are genuine ethical, and ultimately metaphysical, concerns underlying the worries about ought and is and the naturalistic fallacy. At the heart of them is an idea that our values are not “in the world,” that a properly untendentious description of the world would not mention any values, that our values are in some sense imposed or projected on to our surroundings. This discovery, if that is what it is, can be met with despair, as can the loss of a teleologically significant world. But it can also be seen as a liberation, and a radical form of freedom may be found in the fact that we cannot be forced by the world to accept one set of values rather than another

The Kantian is not permitted by her own version of morality to do much mocking back, but other Humeans may generously step in to do the job of retorsio iocosa for them. For the true Humean must somehow learn to mock gently.

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.
