Conceptual Baggage of Empirical Research
Keyword(s):
This chapter argues that when philosophical theories of normativity miss the mark concerning the social practice of normativity, they thereby miss a side of the normative that is empirically accessible and can be recognized and described in time and space. In order to substantiate this claim, four models are examined so as to explicate how they relate to the question of social norms' empirical recognizability. The first concerns the rationalization of the normative through generalizability, as drawn from Kantian philosophy. Next, the chapter covers a model drawn from David Hume concerning the empiricization of the normative. Power, or the absorption of the normative, is next discussed. Finally, the chapter studies moral realism.
