"Like bees who fly despite theories of aeronautics which deny them the right to do so, probably the overwhelming majority of mankind are continually drawing normative conclusions from factual premises (and factual conclusions from normative premises, for the relation between ethos and worldview is circular) despite refined, and in their own terms impeccable, reflections by professional philosophers on the 'naturalistic fallacy'."
