Recent years' literature on distinctively political normativity raises methodological and meta-theoretical concerns of importance for political theory. The aim of this article is to identify and critically examine the main positions in this debate as well as to analyze problems and promising ways forward. In brief, we argue that the predominant "non-moral view" of distinctively political normativity (i.e., the view that political normativity is independent of moral normativity), is problematic in all its three versions. Further, we suggest that a reasonable approach to political normativity should adopt a "moral view" (i.e., the view that political normativity is not independent of moral normativity) and investigate two such approaches: the so-called "filter approach" and the "role approach." Although still much in need of further development in political theory, both of them bear promise as accounts which preserve the distinctness of the political domain while acknowledging its status as a moral kind
