DO NORMATIVE FACTS MATTER⋯ to WHAT IS FEASIBLE?

G. A. Cohen famously argued that fundamental normative principles (for example, concerning justice) are "fact-free" in such a way that their truth is independent of nonnormative facts. For our purposes here, we take Cohen's claim as given. Our focus is on what might be thought of as the "other side" of this issue - on whether the non-normative facts that determine what might be feasible for us to accomplish are value-independent. We argue that they are not, that people have reason to think that the normative properties of different possible options can and sometimes do have a crucial impact on their feasibility. In other words: facts about feasibility are partially dependent on Cohen's "fact-free moral principles".
