Abstract

In this paper, I present some comments on Jaroslav Peregrin’s Normative Species. Although I agree with much of what Peregrin says, my comments focus on disagreements. After summarizing some key aspects of Peregrin’s naturalistic account of norms, I raise three questions. I criticize Peregrin’s anti-realism about normativity and his use of Sellars’s distinction between the manifest and the scientific image.
