ABSTRACT

This chapter reveals objective normativity as a genuine feature of the stance that human agents, given their empirical psychology, naturally take towards each other. Prima facie the social realm is a domain that is thoroughly permeated by various kinds of rules and norms. The defense of normativity as objective normative reasons that agents own proceeded not by showing that the notion of normative reasons itself is a causal explanatory notion. Accordingly, normative facts are those facts that provide agents with objective considerations for or against certain kinds of actions. The considerations on the nature and source of our commitment to the notion of the impartial perspective constitute more than philosophical armchair reflection. More specifically, it has been argued that appeal to irreducible normative facts does not play any explanatory role within the context of a scientific exploration of the social realm.
