	AllRefer.com - norm (Philosophy, Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
		norm, authoritative rule or standard by which something is judged and on that basis approved or disapproved.
		Examples of norms include standards of right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, and truth and falsehood.

		One major characteristic of norms is that, unlike propositions, they are not descriptively true or false, since norms do not purport to describe anything, but to prescribe, create or change something.
		Other people maintain that norms are ultimately neither true or false, but only successful or unsuccessful (valid or invalid), as their propositional content (see also John Searle) obtains or not.
		This court seems to be enforcing a general principle, a norm, the norm that it is unlawful, in principle, to cause damages.

		Philosophy is supposed to scrutinize everything that is spontaneously considered as "normal." If democracy designates a normal state of collective organization, or political will, then the philosopher will ask for the norm of this normality to be examined.
		Let’s assume that philosophy is not related to politics as much as it is the representation or the seizure of politics’ ultimate ends, that philosophy has another rapport to politics and that it is not intended to evaluate – the appearance before a court – or legitimate politics’ ultimate ends.
		All in all, philosophy would be a formal apprehension of States and politics as it pre-elaborates or exposes the said typology to possible norms.

		The cookie norm is important because it symbolizes both the presenter's membership in the community at a visceral human level and acknowledgement of the gratitude felt by the presenter for his inclusion in the community.
		The new norms jurisprudes understand both norms and law in a purely voluntaristic way, as a matter of the subjects' compliance with the will of the community (in the case of norms) or sovereign (in the case of law), and not as a reasoned or coherent body of regulation, compliance with which is self-justifying.
		But since their definition of norms universally converge on the point that whatever they are, the norms they are studying are not law, they cannot sustain their definition without at least some implicit sense of what it means to call something a law.

		And this division of labour is not a normatively neutral fact about law; it is politically charged, for it sets up the possibility of law becoming remote from the life of a society, a hazard to which Hart is acutely alert (1994, p.

	Certain Doubts » Knowledge as an indefeasible norm of assertion? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		I’m not so moved by the thought that the sceptic is warranted in asserting that we don’t know anything, but the thought that when you are presented with a sceptical hypothesis you lose an entitlement you otherwise had to assert certain mundane truths and their obvious consequences is more intuitive.
