Naturalism and Normativity

Autor Mario De Caro, David Macarthur
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2010
Normativity concerns what we ought to think or do and the evaluations we make. For example, we say that we ought to think consistently or that we ought to keep our promises or that Mozart is a better composer than Salieri. Yet what philosophical moral are we to draw from the apparent absence of normativity in the scientific image of the world? For scientific naturalists the moral is reached by reducing the normative to the nonnormative. For orthodox nonnaturalists the moral is found in the transcendent realm of norms. Naturalism and Normativity challenges both sides of this debate. Essays explore philosophical options for understanding normativity within the overlooked territory between orthodox scientific naturalism and Platonistic supernaturalism
