| Description | First-order normative theories concerning what's right and wrong, good and bad, etc., and metanormative theories concerning the nature of first-order normative thought and talk are widely regarded as independent theoretical enterprises. This chapter argues that several debates in metanormative theory involve views that have first-order normative implications, even as the implications in question may not be immediately recognisable as normative. I first make my claim more precise by outlining a general recipe for generating this result. I then apply this recipe to three debates in metaethics: the modal status of basic normative principles, normative vagueness and indeterminacy, and the determination of reference for normative predicates. In each case I argue that certain views on each issue carry first-order normative commitments, in accordance with my recipe. Book Name: Methodology and Moral Philosophy |
