Meanings
nounnormativist (plural normativists)
plural normativists
- A proponent of normativism
So a possible explanation for the normativist would be to claim that when we ascribe normative mental properties, we do this on the basis of the non-mental, and hence non-normative properties, that mental properties are supposed to supervene on.
