Normative Properties

In this chapter a number of different questions about normative properties are discussed. What are normative properties? What makes a property normative in the first place? What is the role of normative properties in the metaethical debate over realism and antirealism? What is the relationship between normative properties and normative concepts? Towards the end I bring up the point that there arguably are many normative properties besides those that we tend to focus on in philosophical discussions, and the implications of this point. The overall aim of the chapter is to highlight some underexplored questions
