Morality and Socially Constructed Norms - Laura Valentini
Shared by:hdgdf
Observe social distancing. Tip your waiter. Give priority to the elderly. Stop at the red light. Pay your taxes. Do not chew with your mouth open. These are imperatives we face every day, imposed upon us by norms that happen to be generally accepted in our environment. Call these ’socially constructed norms’. A constant presence in our lives, these norms elicit mixed feelings. On the one hand, we treat them as valid standards of behaviour and respond to their violation with emotions such disapproval, resentment, and guilt. On the other hand, we look at them with after all, they are arbitrary human constructs that may contribute to oppression and injustice. In light of this ambivalence, it is important to have a criterion telling us when, if ever, we are morally bound by socially constructed norms and when we should instead disregard them. Morality and Socially Constructed Norms systematically develops such a criterion. It traces the moral significance of those norms to
the agential commitments that underpin them, and explains why those commitments ought to be respected, provided the content of the corresponding norms is consistent with independent moral constraints. The book then explores the implications of this view for three core questions in moral, legal, and political the grounding of moral rights, the obligation to obey the law, and the wrong of sovereignty violations. Morality and Socially Constructed Norms shows how much progress can be made in normative theorizing when we give socially constructed norms their (moral) due.

Thank you for the upload. It helps to see what propaganda academia is vomiting over us all.
So. There is no obligation to “obey the law”.
Government, in the West especially, has the monopoly on violence.
Which it has been using to enforce a “morality” which suits IT, not the peasants, for at least the last 3 decades.
Never has it been more clear: Is it ‘legal’ to force parents for have their child take chemicals that permanently remove a chunk of the growth process of puberty?
Is it legal to force parents to have their children sterlized, and to be locked in a physical condition where they will be required to take e.g. pain-drugs for the rest of their lives?
Yes. Both those things ARE LEGAL. And enforced by the violence of Government.
THAT is what ‘the law’, is.
And like any human being who is not a literal devil-emulator, I have zero ‘obligation’ to ‘follow/obey the law’.
In fact, unless I am forced, I will NOT obey the law: because I do NOT worship the Devil.

Hi, hdgdf. Are you familiar with Thorstein Veblen‘s Theory of the Leisure Class? Any chance you can find this audiobook? I know it exists, but I’m having a difficult time find it outside of Audible.

Oh, good more Neo-marxist relativism and erosions of our societies.
People need to be more free and less “oppressed” please, let’s throw away all our values and morality.
If you like the way things have quickly become in the last few five years (specifically) take this book and run with it.

You guys are so funny. You didn’t even read the description of the book before declaring it “neo-marxist” and “throw(ing) away all our values and morality.” If you did you would have seen this line:
“It traces the moral significance of those norms to
the agential commitments that underpin them, and explains why those commitments ought to be respected, provided the content of the corresponding norms is consistent with independent moral constraints.”
Reactionaries don’t know how to read.

I haven’t heard ‘Government has the monopoly on violence’ since the days when beards in college pubs used to quote Lukacs to impress the girls.
I can’t see Nuker impressing girls, can you, children?
Most of what Valentini writes is silly, it’s why she backed Trump for so long.
But even she would see through Nuker before he pulled out his paperback.

And of course the American basement-nazis that frequent this site looking for things to soil themselves over can’t understand a basic moral philosophy textbook.
Please, never apply for passports. The rest of the world is happier without you.
