Navigating Normative Orders
About the book
Whether with Kant or among conservatives, on the internet, in environmental discourses or in Zanzibar: this book examines how people set norms, question them and legitimize them. The contributions make it clear that norms continue to play a central role in all areas of life. Together with values and narratives, they form normative orders that are used to legitimize political authority and the distribution of rights and goods: in criminal law, in child rearing, in the territorial state, in discourses on progress, in the Anthropocene.
