Primes¶
- Normativity
- Not all reason-giving: A reason to do something (hunger gives a reason to eat) is not automatically a normative claim; normativity involves the binding-force authority — a claim that something ought to be done, that the agent is bound to do it (categorically or given certain conditions), not merely that it is instrumentally advantageous.
