Abstract

In this chapter, we consider the question in what sense (if any) logic is normative. We first provide an opinionated overview of the recent debate (Part I), and then we put forward a proposal on which logic is intrinsically normative (Part II). Settling whether logic is normative seems to presuppose answers to: (a) What is logic? (b) What is it (for logic) to be normative?
