Hartry Field on Norms - Dictionary of Arguments
II 244 Norm/belief/possible world/Field: Norm and belief must be distinguished by itself. If the acceptance of a norm is merely a belief of something (e.g., that action is correct according to it), then the information that is relevant for the truth value of belief (belief) must be contained in the possible world itself. - Then the norm is no longer required for the assessment of the mental state. Norm: must be part of a possible world which is independent of belief. >Possible worlds, >Beliefs, >Independence. II 245 Norm/non-factualism/Field: thesis: norm-sensitive utterances (which contain evaluative predicates) are only true relative to norms. Factualism: Factualism limits this to the norms which are not objectively false. Non-factualism/factualism: are differentiated by the fact, which statements are "simply true" (i.e. true in all norms that are not objectively wrong). Analog: dft-operator to amplify "true" in vagueness. >dft-operator. II 249 NonfactualismVsEvaluating predicates. >Values, >Ethics. II 247 Norm/ethics/disagreement/dispute/N.B: If there is no norm-sensitivity in a sentence anymore, then a contradiction between norms can no longer count as a contradiction. - ((s) between sentences). II 248 Ethics/Field: Dispute only exists about attitudes, not about facts. Problem: having an attitude is not sufficient, but accepting a reference system is necessary. >Reference systems. (Analog: having time order is not sufficient)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
