| has gloss | eng: The moralistic fallacy is the opposite of the naturalistic fallacy. It says that because something is morally wrong, it could not be a part of human nature or that what ought to be, is. The naturalistic fallacy says that what is, is what ought to be. The fallacy was coined by Bernard Davis in response to calls for ethical guidelines to control the study of what could allegedly become "dangerous knowledge." |
