Normative Identity is about how we define ourselves and others in
terms of our ideas about the good and the right. Conflict as well
as cooperation spring from our normative identity. Terrorists as
well as social reformers find meaning and justification for their
actions in their beliefs about whom and what they are and should
be. But normative identities are not immune to rational criticism.
This book argues that we should try to develop for ourselves a
complex normative identity, based on the values of truth, justice,
and beauty and consistent with the requirements of rational agency.
Per Bauhn develops distinct but interrelated themes in moral
philosophy to offer a new understanding of the relation between
identity, values, meaning and agency. Ultimately he outlines a
normative identity that is both rationally justified and can
function as a source of meaning and motivation.
