This aim will be achieved mainly through the answers of John Searle and Paul Ricoeur to the fact-value problem. Searle tries to solve the problem of whether value can be derived from facts, within the boundaries of the philosophy of language. Ricoeur, on the other hand, thinks that if this derivation is achieved, the problem is an ethics problem. In this paper, I will try to build a bridge between philosophy of language and ethics by presenting the views of Searle and Ricoeur. This effort to establish a connection has the intention of, in a sense, violating the boundaries and distinctions between the two fundamental disciplines of philosophy.en10.29228/beytulhikme.74823info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEthicsFact-Value ProblemPhilosophy Of LanguagePromiseRicoeurSearleArticle142419438N/AWOS:00126694280000612959840
