Institutional Facts and the Naturalistic Fallacy
ProtoSociology, 2002In 1964 Searle argued against the naturalistic fallacy thesis that an ought-statement can in fact be derived from is-statements. From an analysis of this argument and of Searle’s social ontology of 1995 – which includes a full-blown theory of institutional facts – I conclude that this argument is unsound on his own (later) terms.

The use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is entirely every country’s sovereign choice. Today, 31 countries own and operate 449 Nuclear Power Reactors (NPRs) (see Annex III) covering around 11% of the world’s electric consumption. In 11 countries NPRs cover more than 30% of their needs in electricity.

The Production of Institutional Facts in Economic Discourse
World Political Science, 2013AbstractEconomic discourses are dominated by stylized facts and other statements of fact concerning the institutional economic order. Yet, there is still very little knowledge on how exactly facts are formed in economic discourse, how they serve as a means for rendering issues “economic”, and how they legitimize, renew and change institutions.

Norms, Institutions, and Institutional Facts
Law and Philosophy, 1998Norms explained as grounds of practical judgment, using example of queue. Some norms informal, inexact, depend on common understanding (‘conventions’); some articulated in context of two-tier normative order: ‘rules’, explicit or implicit. Logical structure of rules displayed.

From Brute Facts to Institutional Facts in Multiagent-Systems
2011 Workshop and School of Agent Systems, their Environment and Applications, 2011Some multi-agent models point to the use of a institutional dimension to ensure a suitable behavior of the agents and to aid the agents in their activities in the system. In some scenarios, the interaction between agents and institution may be mediated by the environment.

Institutional Facts and AMAs in Society
2018Which moral principles should the artificial moral agents, AMAs, act upon? This is not an easy problem. But, even harder is the problem of identifying and differentiating the elements of any moral event; and then finding out how those elements relate to your preferred moral principle, if any.

According to Ron Mallon (2004), any adequate account of race must meet three constraints: passing, no-traveling, and reality. "Passing" describes the fact that persons who are treated by others as belonging to one race, may "actually" belong to a different race.

Institutional facts, performativity and false beliefs
Cognitive Systems Research, 2006Recent accounts of institutional and social facts share at least three theses. (1) Performativity: a shared attitude of certain type towards an institutional fact may contribute to the truth of a sentence describing the fact. (2) Reflexivity: if a sentence describing an institutional fact is true, the relevant attitude is present. (3) Qualified realism:

An approach to ontology for institutional facts in the semantic web
Information and Software Technology, 2005Refinement in software engineering allows a specification to be developed in stages, with design decisions taken at earlier stages constraining the design at later stages. Refinement in complex data models is difficult due to lack of a way of defining constraints, which can be progressively maintained over increasingly detailed refinements.

Institutional Facts and Brute Values
Ethics, 1970Considering the substantial philosophical controversy which followed John Searle's well-known publication on how to derive an "ought" from an "'is,"1 it would only be with some hesitation that one would venture to resuscitate the issues and again challenge the argument.
