THE NORMATIVE AND THE NATURAL - MICHAEL P WOLF ...

Drawing on a rich pragmatist tradition  this book offers an account of the different kinds of
'oughts'  or varieties of normativity  that we are subject to contends that there is no
conflict between normativity and the world as science describes it. The authors argue that
normative claims aim to evaluate  to urge us to do or not do something  and to tell us how a
state of affairs ought to be. These claims articulate forms of action-guidance that are
different in kind from descriptive claims  with a wholly distinct practical and expressive
character. This account suggests that there are no normative facts  and so nothing that needs
any troublesome shoehorning into a scientific account of the world. This work explains that
nevertheless  normative claims are constrained by the world  and answerable to reason and
argumentation  in a way that makes them truth-apt and objective.
