The distinction between norms and facts is long-standing in
providing a challenge for psychology. Norms exist as directives,
commands, rules, customs and ideals, playing a constitutive role in
human action and thought. Norms lay down 'what has to be' (the
necessary, possible or impossible) and 'what has to be done' (the
obligatory, the permitted or the forbidden) and so go beyond the
'is' of causality. During two millennia, norms made an essential
contribution to accounts of the mind, yet the twentieth century
witnessed an abrupt change in the science of psychology where norms
were typically either excluded altogether or reduced to causes. The
central argument in this book is twofold. Firstly, the approach in
twentieth-century psychology is flawed. Secondly, norms operating
interdependently with causes can be investigated empirically and
theoretically in cognition, culture and morality. Human development
is a norm-laden process.
