Description
Shaping the Normative Landscape explores how we exercise control over our normative environment through various instruments such as obligations and rights, forgiveness, consent and refusal, promise and request. David Owens argues that these concepts are valued for their own sake, rather than solely as by-products of more fundamental interests. Owens examines how we create and maintain the rights and obligations of ourselves and others, including friendships and medical treatment. He also reconsiders the psychology of agency and social convention to better understand normative interests. By acknowledging the importance of these interests, Owens aims to provide a deeper understanding of promise, consent, and other related phenomena. This book offers a thought-provoking investigation into the nature of our normative world and its significance in shaping our lives.
