Comments/contents: Normative theory is central to all aspects of our lives. It is concerned with how we ought to evaluate, decide, and act as individuals and as institutional actors, how society ought to be evaluated and organized and how we ought to decide and act as collective agents, and even how we ought to acquire knowledge. Moral norms, legal norms, technical norms, and epistemic norms guide our everyday behaviour and interactions. Normative Theory thus crosses the disciplinary boundaries philosophy, political science, economics, and law.

The aim of the group is to offer a platform for research and advanced research-driven teaching in all aspects of normative theory with a particular focus on current problems of society.
