The problem of normativity is to explain what the normativity of these ... Read more

  • Does Anything Really Matter?

    Essays on Parfit on Objectivity

    Edited by Peter Singer ...

He thus challenges a view of the role of reason in action that can be traced back to David Hume, and is widely assumed to be correct, not only by philosophers but also by economists. In defending his view, ... Read more

  • Explaining the Normative

    by Stephen P. Turner ...
    Normativity is what gives reasons their force, makes words meaningful, and makes rules and laws binding. It is present whenever we use such terms as ‘correct,' ‘ought,' ‘must,' and the language of obligation, responsibility, and logical compulsion. Yet normativists, the philosophers committed to this idea, admit that the idea of a non-causal normative realm and a body of normative objects is ... Read more
