Choosing Normative Concepts

Autor Matti Eklund
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2019
Theorists working on metaethics and the nature of normativity typically study goodness, rightness, what ought to be done, and so on. In their investigations they employ and consider our actual normative concepts. But the actual concepts of goodness, rightness, and what ought to be done are only some of the possible normative concepts there are. There are other possible concepts, ascribing different properties. Matti Eklund explores the consequences of this thought, for example for the debate over normative realism, and for the debate over what it is for concepts and properties to be normative. Conceptual engineering - the project of considering how our concepts can be replaced by better ones - has become a central topic in philosophy. Eklund applies this methodology to central normative concepts and discusses the special complications that arise in this case. For example, since talk of improvement is itself normative, how should we, in the context, understand talk of a concept being better?

Recenzii

Matti Eklund's excellent Choosing Normative Concepts is a rich and wide-ranging book. ... The book is well-argued, engaging, clear and simple in style, and rewards careful study. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in metaethics and metanormativity.
In all, this is a highly interesting book, full of important and useful theoretical resources, relevant and often neglected distinctions, and lots of things to think about for those working in meta-ethics. The book raises a lot of very relevant and fruitful questions for further research, and as such, definitely merits close consideration
"[Eklund's] extraordinarily rich and original book focuses on revealing new problems and possibilities that anyone with serious interest in metaethics can learn from ... I recommend the book wholeheartedly."
An extremely rewarding exploration of a number of issues central to meta-normative debates.
An excellent work of philosophy.
"Eklunds discussion of thick concepts, objectionable normative concepts, and slurs ... is especially rich and interesting."
