| Ethics | Putnam | III 113f Ethics/concepts/Williams/Murdoch: ethical concepts are 1. porous: e.g. "good and right" are porous. More descriptive, less abstract: e.g."cruel", "chaste", and so on are more descriptive and less abstract. Murdoch: also descriptive components are interest-relative. VsNon-Cognitivism: his division into descriptive/prescriptive does not succeed because one cannot name the components, without even using a word like "cruel" (circular). >Noncognitivism, >Prescriptivism. Murdoch: the world is not analyzable into facts and values. Williams: pro, but we can transfer our concepts to each society. III 116 "Dense"/Williams: e.g. "chaste" can function both as a rating as well as a description. III 117 PutnamVsWilliams: it is absurd and still relativistic when "grass is green" is not to be the absolute truth (because I'm projecting colors like values). Values/Putnam: values are even worse off than colors, because after we figured out that we project them, we lose our ability to use them. >Values. III 128 PutnamVsWilliams: Williams is too complicated metaphysical. Definition ratings/Dewey: ratings arise from a critique of various problem-solving processes. >Dewey. --- V 190 Ethics/language/meaning/values/Putnam: e.g. Superbenthamian: approves the most cruel acts for "the good of the majority". After a while the language use in reference to "sincere" separates him from us. That does not mean that we and the superbenthamian agree about the facts and disagree with respect to the values. We live in different worlds. >Utilitarianism. V 208 PutnamVsBentham: we have a reason to prefer the poetry to the flea-hopping: the experience of great poetry and its aftermath. V 282 Ethics/PutnamVsBentham: (e.g. flea-hopping): there is no prejudice to prefer the poetry. The idea that values do not belong to the blocks in the world, and the idea that "value judgments" express "prejudices" are two sides of the same coin. PutnamVsSolipsism: solipsism is immoral, not everyone is trapped in a solipsistic hell, but we should participate in the discourse. >Solipsism. |

| Norms | Cavell | II 192 Norms/Normative/Normativity/Cavell: Normativity is not in the assertions of the philosopher of the everyday language. >Everyday language, >Meaning/Intending/Cavell. II 193 Traditional problems with the concept of normativity stem from the following confusions: 1. the (wrong) idea, descriptive utterances are the opposite of normative utterances. 2. prescriptive utterances are typical examples of normative utterances. >Descriptive/prescriptive. Ad 1. typical of actions is that they can go wrong. But then descriptive statements do not represent the opposite of normative statements, but rather presuppose them. We could not do what we call describing, if the language did not comprehend us with consummation forms that are normative for describing. Ad. 2. If normative expressions are used to institutionalize rules, then prescriptive utterances are not examples of normative utterances. II 194 Formulating a norm does not mean to indicate how we should perform an action, but how the action is done! Specifying what we should do is not to institutionalize a norm, but rather presupposes the existence of a norm! Language/Norms/Cavell: We sometimes invoke standards which our interlocutor does not accept, but we do not try to institutionalize our own norms, nor to express our subjective views. >Convention. II 195 There are always different normative possibilities to fulfill the particular normative tasks. |
