1 Hare is not of the opinion that the question whether moral judgments have prescriptive meaning is irrelevant to practice. In an unconsciously amusing passage he describes the evils of the ‘descriptivist family’, evils consequent on the failure of misguided parents to persuade their children that ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ are prescriptive and not descriptive terms. (‘The Practical Relevance of Philosophy’, Inaugural Lecture published for the first time in Essays no Philosophical Method).
