Fittingness explores the nature, roles, and applications of the
notion of fittingness in contemporary normative and metanormative
philosophy. The fittingness relation is the relation in which a
response stands to a feature of the world when that feature merits,
or is worthy of, that response. In the late nineteenth to
mid-twentieth century, this notion of fittingness played a
prominent role in the theories of the period's most influential
ethical theorists, and in recent years it has regained prominence,
promising to enrich the theoretical resources of contemporary
theorists working in the philosophy of normativity. This volume is
the first central discussion of the notion of fit to date. It is
composed of seventeen new essays covering a range of topics
including the nature and epistemology of fittingness, the relation
between fittingness and reasons, the normativity of fittingness,
fittingness and value theory, and the role of fittingness in
theorizing about responsibility. In addition to making important
contributions to the debates in the philosophy of normativity with
which they're concerned, the essays in the volume support the
hypothesis that the notion of fittingness has great theoretical
utility in investigating a range of normative matters, across a
variety of domains.
