Produktbeschreibung

The Nature of Normativity presents a complete theory about the nature of normative thought ¿ that is, the sort of thought that is concerned with what ought to be the case, or what we ought to do or think. Ralph Wedgwood defends a kind of realism about the normative, according to which normative truths or facts are genuinely part of reality.
