Hypothetical Justifications

  • Bernd Lahno
A basic con­vic­tion in moral non-cogni­ti­vism is: only hypo­the­ti­cal norms may be jus­ti­fied. Hart­mut Kli­emt argues for a mode­ra­te vari­ant: the­re are only hypo­the­ti­cal jus­ti­fi­ca­ti­ons of norms whe­ther the norms are hypo­the­ti­cal or cate­go­ri­cal in kind. In this paper the con­cept of ‚hypo­the­ti­cal jus­ti­fi­ca­ti­on‘ is ana­ly­zed. It is argued that hypo­the­ti­cal jus­ti­fi­ca­ti­ons are not of the kind that we should look for in nor­ma­ti­ve ethics.
