A Summary Critique of The Fact/Value Dichotomy by Robert Harris.

Positivism’s claim that “only statements of observable facts have meaning” was a
claim not subject to observation and thus, by its own definition, the claim had no
meaning.
In other words, the argument for the fact/value dichotomy is a self-refuting and contradicting argument.
The refutation of the fact/value dichotomy is essentially a confirmation of natural law, rights, and justice, since all of these are derived from fact.
