Fact-Value Dichotomy Collapse

The philosophical argument — central to Hilary Putnam's *The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy* — that the sharp separation between objective fact and subjective value is untenable. Values are embedded in what we count as facts, and facts constrain what we can reasonably value. The dichotomy emerged through historical contingency, not logical necessity.
