Contemporary Phenomenologies of Normativity : Norms, Goals, and Values, Paperback / softback Book

Contemporary Phenomenologies of Normativity : Norms, Goals, and Values Paperback / softback

Edited by Sara Heinamaa, Mirja Hartimo, Ilpo Hirvonen

Part of the Routledge Research in Phenomenology series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume investigates forms of normativity through the phenomenological methods of description, analysis, and interpretation.

It takes a broad approach to norms, covering not only rules and commands but also goals, values, and passive drives and tendencies. Part I "Basic Perspectives" begins with an overview of the phenomena of normativity and then clarifies the constitution of norms by Husserlian and Heideggerian concepts.

It offers phenomenological alternatives to the neo-Kantian and neo-Hegelian approaches that dominate contemporary debates on the "sources of normativity." Part II "From Perception to Imagination" turns to the normativity of three basic types of experiences.

This part first sheds light on the normativity of perception and then illuminates the kind of normativity characteristic of imagination and drive intentionality.

Part III "Social Dimensions" analyzes the norms that regulate the formation of practical communities.

It takes a broad view of practical norms, discussing social and moral norms as well as the epistemic norms of scientific practices.

By clarifying the divergences and interrelations between various types and levels of norms, the volume demonstrates that normativity is not one phenomenon but a complex set of various phenomena with multiple sources. Contemporary Phenomenologies of Normativity: Norms, Goals, and Values will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working on issues of normativity in phenomenology, epistemology, ethics, and social philosophy.
