Year 13 WJEC 哲学课程深入探讨伦理学与心灵哲学难题，要求学生精确把握细微区分。本文指出十个常见误区，并提供清晰的纠正方法，助你提升哲学写作与考试答题的锋利度。

1. Mistaking the Is-Ought Gap for a Disproof of Moral Realism | 误把“是-应当”鸿沟当成对道德实在论的反驳

A widespread mistake in essays on meta-ethics is to argue that because ‘is’ does not imply ‘ought’, objective moral values cannot exist. Students often treat Hume’s law as a metaphysical weapon against any form of moral realism.

在元伦理学论文中一个普遍错误是论证：“是”推不出“应当”，因此客观道德价值不可能存在。学生常把休谟法则当作反对任何形式道德实在论的形而上学武器。

The correction lies in recognising that the is-ought gap is a logical point about validity in deductive reasoning. Moral realists such as naturalists can posit irreducible moral facts that are not derived from non-moral premises. The gap simply shows that you cannot deduce an evaluative conclusion without at least one evaluative premise – it does not falsify the existence of moral properties.

纠正在于认识到，是-应当鸿沟是一个关于演绎推理有效性的逻辑要点。像自然主义者这样的道德实在论者可以假定不可还原的道德事实，这些事实无需从非道德前提中推出。此鸿沟仅仅表明，没有至少一个评价性前提，你就推不出评价性结论——它并未证伪道德属性之存在。

2. Overextending the Naturalistic Fallacy to All Ethical Naturalism | 将自然主义谬误过度扩展到所有伦理自然主义

Moore’s open question argument exposes a fallacy when identifying ‘good’ with any natural property, but students frequently misuse it to dismiss any link between ethics and natural facts. They claim that any ethical naturalism commits the naturalistic fallacy.

摩尔的开问题论证揭示了将“善”与任何自然属性等同的谬误，但学生经常误用它来否定伦理学与自然事实之间的任何关联。他们声称任何伦理自然主义都犯了自然主义谬误。

Moore specifically targeted reductive definitions of ‘good’. Non-reductive naturalists, such as Cornell realists, hold that moral properties supervene on natural properties without being definable in purely natural terms. Moreover, critics like Frankena argue Moore’s charge itself begs the question. A sound understanding requires distinguishing between analytic naturalism and reductive naturalism.

摩尔具体针对的是对“善”的还原式定义。非还原的自然主义者，如康奈尔实在论者，认为
