Conceptual Confusions and Causal Dynamics
Lo Presti, Patrizio LU
(2019)
In Phenomenology & Mind
17.
p.32-43
- Abstract
- This paper argues that rules and norms are conceptually distinct: what is norm is not thereby rule, and vice versa. Versions of conflating the two are discussed and an argument for distinction given. Two objections to the argument are responded to. It is accepted that rules and norms are often intimately related. They are so causally, not conceptually: what norms we live by can make a difference to what rules we accept and what rules we accept can make a difference to what norms we live by. This is a social, dynamic and continuous causal process of development of the social practices of community.
- Abstract (Swedish)
- It is argued that rules and norms are conceptually distinct. What is norm is not a rule, and vice versa. Versions of conflating the two are discussed and an argument for distinction given. Objections to the argument are responded to. It is accepted that rules and norms are intimately related, but they are so causally, not conceptually. What norms we live by makes a difference to what rules we accept and what rules we accept makes a difference to what norms we live by, in a social, dynamic continuous causal process of development of the social practices of community.
