How to confront Hume's charge that there cannot be objectivity in morals? In order to understand this charge, we need to consider the distinction, according to Hume, between an 'is' and an 'ought.' In other words, we are asking what is the mode of procedure one can hope to attain in moral discourse that might satisfy a scepticism with regard to ethics? Can we proceed in a scientific manner with regard to ethics, or shall we regard ethics as merely a matter of convention, of hopefulness, and as empty ideal?
