Hi Gary,
My confusion about the term "normative science" is based on the ending "-tive" in "normative". The way you explain it, for me "normologic" would sound better, as in "biologic", because in biologic science, nobody (I hope) would claim to have caused life. But an artist, who is "creative"
Dear Jon, Stefan, list
Jon, you understand german? well, i still think, that these rules of inferment or logic are objects of scientific inquiry or investigation. So it is not the science itself, that is normative, but it is the rules, discovered by science, that are- but their normativity is their

Lieber Helmut,

Helmut, Jon,
Jon's quote from Plato about _/nomos/_ is especially suggestive with the
idea of rhythm ("rockabye baby" etc.), and thus is in keeping with ideas
of measure, proportion, (overall) tone (as of a painting), and being in
keeping.
_/Nomos/_ also is used in a more general sense of a
Helmut,
Jon’s reference to “nomos” is a red herring, I think, based on a
pseudo-etymology (or maybe just one of his jokes). A carpenter’s square (Lat.
norma) is a tool for checking that the angles in a constructed object are close
enough to the norm of a “right angle” (90 degrees).

I have to be running off right now, but a good way to sense the root senses
of normative inquiry is to let one's mind wander a bit poetically through
the many-splintered connotations of this Antic Greek pastoral pastur
Dear Jon, list,
we are talking about "normative science", and, ok, "norma" is a carpenters square. What is that? And what does all that have to do with children suffering from sleeplessness?

Supplement: Now there is one thing, I am not clear about, that is the meaning of the adjective "normative". To me- might be, because I am not a native speaker of English, "normative" sounds somewhat like "dogmatic". I think, that proper (in my understanding of proper) science is nothing but inq
Dear John, List,
in your definition of pragmatic ethics you have included: "in order to achieve the admirable or the "good in itself" that is determined by a prior consideration of esthetics". Now I dont see, what might be left for the other kind of ethics, the prescriptive ethics. Especially, if
