Explaining the Normative

Informationen zum Autor Stephen Turner is a Graduate Research Professor at the Department of Philosophy, University of South Florida Klappentext "Explaining the Normative is the first systematic, historically grounded critique of normativism. It identifies the standard normativist pattern of argument, and shows how this pattern depends on circularities, preferred descriptions, problematic transcendental arguments, and regress arguments ending in mysteries."--Jacket. Zusammenfassung Normativity is what gives reasons their force! makes wordsmeaningful! and makes rules and laws binding. It is presentwhenever we use such terms as correct!' ought!' must!' and the language of obligation! responsibility! andlogical compulsion.
