Normative Discourse by Paul W. Taylor is a philosophical analysis of the nature and function of normative language.

Taylor then examines the relationship between normative language and truth, arguing that normative claims can be objectively true or false. He also explores the role of emotions in normative discourse, and how they can influence our moral and political judgments.Throughout the book, Taylor engages with a range of philosophical theories and debates, including naturalism, relativism, and the is-ought problem. He also draws on examples from contemporary politics and social issues to illustrate the practical significance of normative discourse.Overall, Normative Discourse offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the philosophy of normative language, and will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy, politics, and ethics.A Modern Study In General Theory Of Value Using The Technique And Approach Of Contemporary Philosophical Analysis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
