Two questions often shape our view of the world. On the one hand,
we ask what there is, on the other hand, we ask what there ought to
be. Empirical research and normative theory, the methodological
traditions concerned with these questions, entered a difficult
relationship, from at least as early as around the time of the
advent of modern sciences. To this day, there remains a strong
separation between the two domains, with both tending to neglect
discourses and results from the other. Contrary to a verdict of
strict segregation between "is" and "ought," there are, nowadays,
various attempts to integrate both theoretical approaches. This
calls for a discourse on the relation between empirical research
and normative theory. In this volume, scholars from different
disciplines - including psychology, sociology, economics, and
philosophy - discuss the possible desired or undesired influences
on, and limits of, the integration of these two approaches.
