About This Lesson

We humans are a chatty bunch--we talk A LOT. But each claim we make can be sorted neatly sorted into one of two categories: it either describes something or it evaluates something (philosophers call these descriptive and normative claims respectively). In this video Kelley Schiffman (Yale University) illustrates the descriptive/normative distinction, and it's importance, with the use of ample examples.
