 Yet the descriptive is not free from prescriptivity either, since there are obviously disagreements amongst practitioners of descriptive metaphysics, and conflicting intuitions about what ‘our’ implicit ontology is. And so descriptivists argue that we should accept one descriptive view over another, but such arguments often rely on pointing out that the opponents’ view cannot be a correct view of reality, or rely on a principle of charity that requires attempting to massage the folk view so that it ends up being correct as a depiction of reality, which in turn relies on the prescriptive non-universal intuitions of the descriptive metaphysician. Any sufficiently rich descriptive metaphysics is not free from some prescriptive content. And so they need each other, and are inextricably intertwined.
