The contributors to this volume engage with issues of normativity within   naturalised philosophy. The issues are critical to naturalism as most   traditional notions in philosophy, such as knowledge, justification or   representation, are said to involve normativity. Some of the   contributors pursue the question of the correct place of normativity   within a naturalised ontology, with emergentist and eliminativist   answers offered on neighbouring pages. Others seek to justify particular   norms within a naturalised framework, the more surprising ones including   naturalist takes on the a priori and intuitions. Finally, yet others   examine concrete examples of the application of norms within particular   epistemic endeavours, such as psychopathology and design. The overall   picture is that of an intimate engagement with issues of normativity on   the part of naturalist philosophers - questioning some of the   fundamentals at the same time as they try to work out many of the details.
