on the Fact-Value Distinction
The Fact-Value Distinction, as found in covert_me
This is interesting, and something that i've argued for extensively without realizing it - normative statements are inherently unprovable because they are based on the subjective, while positive statements exist as solid fact.
I'm not exactly sure if this is relevant to Buddhism, but it certainly encompasses my own feelings on the matter of morality (that morality is subjective and therefore you can have no positive statements about right or wrong). This community is extraordinarily interesting... I enjoy reading it thoroughly.
