Abstract

The chapter begins with an overview of contemporary phenomenological theorization of normativity. In light of phenomenological contributions, the field of norms proves to be both multi-faceted and heavily layered. In order to organize the field, the chapters turns to Husserl’s classical account, arguing that it provides an elegant and powerful manner of unifying the phenomena of normativity without disregarding or downplaying their plurality and layered character. On this basis, the chapter then clarifies the difference between the normativity of the criteria of evaluation and the normativity of the rules of action or conduct. At the same time, it sheds light on the guiding function of values and paragons.
