Text of the page (random words):
it what a relief to have nothing to say the right to say nothing because only then is there a chance of framing the rare and ever rarer thing that might be worth saying secondly whilst i ve been amazed at the response the blog has gotten it has also made me a little uncomfortable especially if the number of hits is remotely near the 45000 that the wordpress counter claims what i ve posted here have essentially been rough notes some of which are several years old now of course people can appreciate that i ve changed my mind in that time but nevertheless i feel a bit too tied to this history especially when i meet someone who has stumbled across this place before though i don t intend to delete the blog bringing it to a close might help to create a little bit of psychological distance from the things i ve written here hopefully i ll make a fresh start blogging elsewhere at some point there ll be another post here if and when that happens in the meantime i ll continue to be active on twitter where you can follow me here thanks again to everyone who has been reading posted in uncategorized 6 comments the vexed contentious history of autonomy posted on july 22 2010 by tom here is the announcement for our first big eap conference in september i am hugely excited about it given the topic and the awesome list of speakers the essex autonomy project is pleased to announce its first major international conference the vexed contentious history of autonomy taking place at the institute of philosophy london 4 5th september 2010 this event is part of a series interrogating the ideal of self determination in human affairs the conference will investigate the turbulent history of the notion of autonomy from the greeks to modernity the line up of speakers is as follows katerina deligiorgi university of sussex axel honneth university of frankfurt terence irwin university of oxford david mcneill university of essex frederick neuhouser columbia university thomas pink

june 24 2010 by tom one of the main themes of my research is normativity in this post i want to provide something of a primer on normativity hopefully this will go someway towards explaining why this is an issue we should take seriously and why normativity acts as a core concept for philosophers like myself the immediate prompt to this post is the ongoing discussions between levi and pete which keep running aground whenever normativity arises pete has set out the pertinent issues a number of times but i thought it would be useful to approach them from my own perspective too since a bit of triangulation might help us get a clearer sense of what is being said in short normative issues concern correctness obviously there s many different senses of correctness and many different ways in which it arises as an issue this helps to explain the tendency for normativity to to become a monolithic topic which can seem to suck all philosophical light towards it like some supermassive body one crucial distinction here though is between first order normative inquiry and metanormative inquiry i ll explicate this in relation to some philosophically familiar topics in ethics we are often asking what we ought to do what would be good in the way of practical action should i give up philosophy and train to be a psychiatrist was it too callous to have decided not to meet your friend because you felt too drained to listen to their problems is a society without socialised medicine thereby unjust these are first order ethical questions and they are normative because they are oriented by the question of how it is correct to act but we can also ask as metaethicists do about the metaphysics epistemology and semantics involved what does it mean to say i should do something what is it for an action to be good is it possible to know whether i did the right thing how what if anything separates ethical demands from those of social etiquette these are metanormative questions also oriented by the notion of correctness in action but which try to uncover what this notion of correctness amounts to at its limit it might even conclude that there is no sense in which actions are appropriate or inappropriate they just are similar distinctions between the first order normative and the metanormative arise in other areas too another familiar example is deliberation about empirical facts and epistemology again there are first order matters what is that animal would it be true to believe it is a chaffinich are physicists justified in believing that the higgs boson exists do these problematic observations imply that the standard model of particle physics must be revised these are normative matters but only in the thin sense that they arguably like all inquiry are oriented by the question of what is good in the way of belief the usual and right answer is that we should believe the truth but we can also assess correctness along a number of other dimensions justification entitlement inference probabilifaction consistency coherence accuracy and so on one of the functions of epistemological inquiry is to examine the status of these first order matters what does it mean to say that we are not entitled to believe that p even though p might turn out to be true what is it for our perceptual beliefs to be justified what is problemtic about inconsistency in belief these questions have a metanormative dimension insofar as they abstract themselves from the immediate issue of what beliefs are good or bad along various dimensions in order to ask what any such assesments consist in the tentacles of normativity reach far and wide beyond these two examples too we find them in the philosophy of language where many have argued that meaning is normative insofar as terms have a correct and incorrect usage and where the task is to flesh out this normative dimension to linguistic practice the same goes for concepts and their conditions of application alongside the murky notion of mental content more generally in the philosophy of mind aesthetics can be thought to be a discipline with a metanormative aspect too especially when beauty and art are notions entangled up with endorsement which a theory of aesthetic judgement may need confront the theory of agency is another locus for normative issues especially insofar many people myself included think that there is a distinctive logical form to action explanation which needs to be articulated in relation to reasons in addition to brute causality the list goes on i certainly do not mean to endorse all these projects i think many of them are misguided ventures but merely to point to some of ways in which metanormative matters appear within contemporary philosophy hopefully it will now be clear that we can pitch normative inquiry at different levels one worry that levi has expressed is moralism doesn t an obsession with normativity lead us to fixate on judging people weeding the unworthy from the worthy and seeking to police people s activity with our distinction between first order and metanormative inquiry in hand we can respond by saying that focusing upon the normative does not necessarily betray a desire to be the judge of what is right and wrong instead for philosophers interested in normativity there is more often an attempt to understand the conditions under which assesments of correctness can succesfully be made at all and what the upshot of such assessments is one way of articulating this is to say that we want to understand the force of the better reason i take this to be quite some distance from the right wing obsession with values that seems to be incensing levi another worry of levi s may be more pressing though turning to norms can seem to be a turning away from the world we can think of this in terms of a kind of cognitive ascent which proceeds in two steps first there is a distinction between talking about the world and talking about our orientation towards the world on one view there are plenty of philosophically interesting features of the world to talk about the structure of objects the nature of causality the individuation of social actors and we should just get on and do that talking about norms is not talking about the world in this way either it is talking about how we should talk about the world and not plainly talking about the world or it is talking about how we should act in the world which is both tediously anthropocentric and still not talking about the great outdoors furthermore there is a second ascent here too since there is not only first order normative inquiry but metanormative inquiry it is either talking about how we should talk about how we should talk about the world or it is talking about how we should talk about we should act in the world the reassuring cruch of reality is thus even further from being underfoot in response there a few things to be said firstly i do take discussions of normativity to be about the world directly they are no mere escape from it i will be brief here because in a way this does not meet levi s worries head on nevertheless whilst it may be démodé in some quarters to be concerned with rational agency as a distinctive phenomenon i think it is a pressing descriptive task for which marshalling the vocabulary of normativity is essential see pippin s excellent piece and the surrounding discussion for more on this beyond this normativity is itself part of the world and is threaded throughout countless human practices when mcdowell gives us an account of virtue alongside the capacities social practices and formative processes needed to make sense of our responsiveness to it or when brandom excavates the structure of the practice of giving and asking for reasons they are talking about real phenomena which need to be elucidated it is perhaps worth stressing that there needs to be nothing a priori about these normative investigations even if figures like habermas and pete for that matter sometimes try to derive minimal rational norms in a quasi transcendental fashion it is the intersection of metaphysics and normativity that seems to be worrying levi here though i am less enamored of constructive metaphysics than levi or pete but i think the latter does a brilliant job of demonstrating the methodological role that metanormative inquiry should have within any such metaphysics i can t do better than his own exploration of these issues in this essay finally i want to underscore the possibility of detatching normativity from deontology the latter understands normativity in terms of necessity imposed through legislation in kant s practical philosophy this is bound up with a system of duties and rights which takes a rigorist form that many people find both implausible and distateful indeed lukács tries to show how the kantian subject delineated through reference to an abstract set of duties is the one presupposed by capitalism being a reactionary ideological symptom of modern forms of exchange my own understanding of normativity both in the practical and theoretical realm has a more aristotelian character to it i do not take the reasons we have to stem from legislation but rather from the concrete situations we face as agents nor do i typically articulate rational requirements in terms of necessities imposed on us by reason instead i help myself to the less austere vocabulary of the good as well as the right and try to extend the concern with what one can do to who one should be as well in addition to my own there are innumerable other ways of approaching normativity too it is important that this point be made in order to correct the assumption that recourse to normative themes is meant to bolster to some quasi kantian project when this is certainly not always the case i could continue but that s more than enough for now posted in epistemology ethics metaphysics methodology normativity 7 comments workshop on autonomous
