    The Assassination of the Austrian Archduke, Sacred Cows, and the Conundrum of Rules

  • Original language description

    Naturalists believe that norms and rules are not explanatory and that searching for causes is the only reasonable way to improve social sciences. On the other hand, normativists claim that norms and rules exist and there is no way how to reduce what "ought to be" to what "is" without losing something important. With respect to social sciences, they claim that norms and rules are explanatory. I argue that the normativist claim is interesting but wrong. Norms and rules serve us as a criterion for correctness and nothing more and rules will not increase our scientific understanding of any kind of phenomena. There are two main reasons why norms are not explanatory. First, when we try to understand any kind of norms we turn them into normative facts. We just handle them as facts and we search for causal chains. Second, rules and norms are based on a folk psychology and normativists usually assume that folk psychology is somehow correct. Recent progress within cognitive science shows that this assuming might be the crucial problem. I claim that in the light of cognitivist research, normativists' argumentation cannot hold anymore.
