研究目的:找到规范性概念的共同点,什么使得“规范性ˮ概念成为⼀个统⼀的类?


如何“下定义”的进路选择。

作者主张, at least some normative concepts have a distinctive "action-guiding" conceptual role. 进一步,作者把action-guiding替换为reasoning-guiding,这是因为规范性的适⽤范围包括非行动。

Sections 1.6 & 1.7 articulate a sense in which normative concepts are 'reasoning-guiding' that is broad enough to include all normative concepts, but narrow enough to exclude intuitively non-normative concepts.
