Drawing on a rich pragmatist tradition, this book offers an account
of the different kinds of 'oughts', or varieties of normativity,
that we are subject to contends that there is no conflict between
normativity and the world as science describes it. The authors
argue that normative claims aim to evaluate, to urge us to do or
not do something, and to tell us how a state of affairs ought to
be. These claims articulate forms of action-guidance that are
different in kind from descriptive claims, with a wholly distinct
practical and expressive character. This account suggests that
there are no normative facts, and so nothing that needs any
troublesome shoehorning into a scientific account of the world.
This work explains that nevertheless, normative claims are
constrained by the world, and answerable to reason and
argumentation, in a way that makes them truth-apt and objective.
