    It is not the case that The Neo-Kantian sharp divide between normative validity and empirical genesis presupposes a fact/value dichotomy that post-Quinean philosophy has substantially undermined.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Quine's critique targets empiricism, not the is/ought distinction; undermining one dichotomy doesn't eliminate all normative boundaries.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Explaining how we acquire values (genesis) via evolution doesn't establish that values lack objective validity independent of causation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Neo-Kantians can grant interconnection between facts and norms while preserving their conceptual and logical distinction as necessary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Quine's holism shows beliefs and values are interdependent; no fact is theory-neutral, undermining sharp fact/value boundaries.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Empirical psychology reveals normativity emerges from evolved dispositions; genesis and validity are not wholly separate domains.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Scientific practice itself embeds normative commitments; the fact/value split cannot cleanly separate methodology from epistemology.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
