New paper: Are proper functions normative?
I'm pleased to announce that my paper Are proper functions normative? has been accepted for publication in THEORIA. You can download a preprint here. Are proper functions normative? In this paper, I try to answer this question. Acknowledging that the notion of normativity is too ill-defined to afford a categorical yes/no answer, I proceed by attempting to identify arguments for an affirmative answer and trying to articulate what conception of normativity they rely on: what "normativity" has to be, in order for these arguments to work.
