Inhalt:

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. They articulate a liberal conception of philosophy that is neither reducible to the sciences nor completely independent of them& mdash;while still earning the right to call itself naturalism. Contributors provide new directions for thinking about the relations among the scientific worldview, our experience of norms and values, and our movements in the space of reason. Detailed discussions include the relationship between philosophy and science, physicalism and ontological pluralism, the realm of the ordinary, objectivity and subjectivity, truth and justification, and the liberal naturalisms of John Dewey, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and John McDowell.
