520 8  Philosophers have long suspected that thought and 
       discourse about what we ought to do differ in some 
       fundamental way from statements about what is. But the 
       difference has proved elusive, in part because the two 
       kinds of statement look alike. Focusing on judgments that 
       express decisions--judgments about what is to be done, all
       things considered--Allan Gibbard offers a compelling 
       argument for reconsidering, and reconfiguring, the 
       distinctions between normative and descriptive discourse--
       between questions of "ought" and "is." Gibbard considers 
       how our actions, and our realities, emerge from the 
       thousands of questions and decisions we form for 
       ourselves. The result is a book that investigates the very
       nature of the questions we ask ourselves when we ask how 
       we should live, and that clarifies the concept of "ought" 
       by understanding the patterns of normative concepts 
       involved in beliefs and decisions. An original and elegant
       work of metaethics, this book brings a new clarity and 
       rigor to the discussion of these tangled issues, and will 
       significantly alter the long-standing debate over 
       "objectivity" and "factuality" in ethics.
