Pregi e limiti teorici di una prospettiva che considera le norme come il centro dei conflitti pratici

Abstract

The text offers an exposition and positive evaluation of the central developments in Canale’s book. In particular, in the first part a reconstruction is proposed, describing different articulations of a normative meta-ethics. In the second part a fruitful utilization of this meta-ethics is deployed so to give a critical reading of the arguments of the judges for the solution of some important contempo-rary practical conflicts. In the last part, the paper offers some questions on the implications of a normative meta-ethics from the point of view of a naturalistic sentimentalism.
