The Structure of Normativity

Explaining what is good or bad, right or wrong, justified or unjustified.

THE PROJECT

“REASONS F1RST: The Structure of Normativity” is a philosophical research project funded by an ERC Starting Grant. It aims to explore the idea that normativity is a unified category by examining the hypothesis that all normative phenomena – including values, obligations and rights, the justification of beliefs, as well as appropriateness norms for emotions – can be explained in terms of reasons.
