Editing Is–ought problem (section)

===Discourse ethics===
{{Main article|Discourse ethics}}
Proponents of discourse ethics argue that the very act of discourse implies certain "oughts", that is, certain [[presupposition]]s that are necessarily accepted by the participants in discourse, and can be used to further derive prescriptive statements. They therefore argue that it is incoherent to argumentatively advance an ethical position on the basis of the is–ought problem, which contradicts these implied assumptions.
