| Naturalistic fallacy: is described as the error to infer from being to what should be. From the fact that something is the way it is, cannot be concluded that it should be like this. The expression comes from the Principia Ethica by G. E. Moore (1903), but the problem goes much further back and has already been pre-formulated by G. Hume in his “A Treatise of Human Nature” (1738-40). Another name for the problem is the is-ought problem._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hans Jonas on Naturalistic Fallacy - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 617 Naturalistic Fallacy/Being/Should/Jonas: Jonas expressly declares that the "separation of 'being' and 'should' (according to which nature is value-free factuality, from which no principles, norms or values can be derived) represents a philosophical dogma to which he does not want to submit. (1) VsJonas: it is controversial in research whether Jonas could be accused of "naturalistic fallacy". (2)(3)(4) Gethmann-Siefert: defends Jonas against this criticism, but accuses him of a "circular justification". SUP>(5) >Circular reasoning. Brocker I 618 Karl-Otto Apel: defends Jonas against the accusation of a naturalistic fallacy, but accuses him of violating Kant's verdict against "dogmatic metaphysics". (6) 1.
