Norms and Necessity
Claims about what is metaphysically necessary or possible have long played a central role in metaphysics and other areas of philosophy.Such claims are traditionally thought of as aiming to describe a special kind of modal fact or property, or perhaps facts about other possible worlds.But that assumption leads to difficult ontological, epistemological, and methodological puzzles.Should we accept that there are modal facts or properties, or other possible worlds?If so, what could these things be? How could we come to know what the modal facts or properties are?How can we resolve philosophical debates about what is metaphysically necessary or possible?Norms and Necessity develops a new approach to understanding our claims about metaphysical possibility and necessity: Modal Normativism.The Normativist rejects the assumption that modal claims aim to describe modal features or possible worlds, arguing instead that they serve as useful ways of conveying, reasoning with, and renegotiating semantic rules and their consequences.By dropping the descriptivist assumption, the Normativist is able to unravel the notorious ontological problems of modality, and provide a clear and plausible story about how we can come to know what is metaphysically necessary or possible.Most importantly, this approach helps demystify philosophical methodology.It reveals that resolving metaphysical modal questions does not require a special form of philosophical insight or intuition.Instead, it requires nothing more mysterious than empirical knowledge, conceptual mastery, and an ability to explicitly convey and renegotiate semantic rules.

Norms in Human Development
The distinction between norms and facts is long-standing in providing a challenge for psychology.Norms exist as directives, commands, rules, customs and ideals, playing a constitutive role in human action and thought.Norms lay down 'what has to be' (the necessary, possible or impossible) and 'what has to be done' (the obligatory, the permitted or the forbidden) and so go beyond the 'is' of causality.During two millennia, norms made an essential contribution to accounts of the mind, yet the twentieth century witnessed an abrupt change in the science of psychology where norms were typically either excluded altogether or reduced to causes.The central argument in this book is twofold. Firstly, the approach in twentieth-century psychology is flawed.Secondly, norms operating interdependently with causes can be investigated empirically and theoretically in cognition, culture and morality.Human development is a norm-laden process.

What are the norms?
Norms are the accepted standards of behavior within a society or group that guide individuals on how to act in various situations. They are the unwritten rules that govern interactions and expectations among members of a community. Norms can vary across cultures and can be explicit or implicit, influencing everything from language and dress codes to social etiquette and values. Adhering to norms helps maintain social order and cohesion within a group.
-
What do norms determine?
Norms determine the accepted behaviors, beliefs, and values within a particular group or society. They dictate how individuals should act, think, and interact with others in order to be considered as part of the group. Norms also influence social expectations and help maintain order and cohesion within a community. Additionally, they play a significant role in shaping cultural identity and defining what is considered as appropriate or inappropriate within a given context.

What are behavioral norms?
Behavioral norms are the unwritten rules and expectations that govern how individuals should behave in a particular social group or culture. These norms dictate what is considered acceptable or unacceptable behavior within a given context, and they help to maintain social order and cohesion. Behavioral norms can encompass a wide range of behaviors, from manners and etiquette to more serious ethical and moral standards. They are learned through socialization and are reinforced through social interactions and feedback.

Can norms make us unfree?
Yes, norms can make us unfree by imposing societal expectations and pressures that limit our ability to act freely. When we feel compelled to conform to certain norms, we may sacrifice our individuality and authenticity in order to fit in or avoid judgment. This can restrict our choices and inhibit our personal growth and self-expression. Additionally, norms that perpetuate discrimination or inequality can further constrain our freedom by limiting opportunities and perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

General Theory of Norms
Hans Kelsen is considered by many to be one of the foremost legal thinkers of the twentieth century.He made important contributions to many areas, but especially to legal theory and international law.Over a number of decades, he developed an important legal theory which found its first complete exposition in Reine Rechtslehre, 1934 (presently being translated by Stanley Paulson for OUP) and its fullest expression in the second edition of Reine Rechtslehre, 1960.During the last decade of his life he was working on what he called a general theory of norms.When he died in 1973, he left a lengthy manuscript, which was published in 1979 as Allgemeine Theorie der Normen.This book is the translation - General Theory of Norms.It is thus the last work of one of the most important legal theorists this century.In it, Kelsen develops his `pure theory of law' into a `general theory of norms'.In so doing, he provides a new basis for some of the positions he espoused earlier on, but also revises some of his earlier positions.The most important new topic is that of the applicability of logic to norms: Kelsen develops an original and extreme position some people have called `normative irrationalism'. In the book, Kelsen also examines the views of over 200 philosophers and legal theorists on law, morality and logic, ranging from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary thinkers.

Portfolio Management : Delivering on Strategy
Portfolio management is becoming the ‘must have’ for organizations to prosper and survive in this decade and beyond.No longer can the organizational focus be one of following best and repeatable practices as resource limitations mean only those programs, projects, and operational work that add business value can and should be pursued.Executives are focusing on strategic ability and managing complexity, which can only be done through a disciplined portfolio process in ensuring the best mix of programs, projects, and operational work is under way.In turn, the portfolio is constantly in flux as difficult decisions are made if a project, for example, is no longer contributing to business value and providing benefits and should be terminated to reallocate resources to one of higher priority.Commitment to this difficult approach is necessary at all levels, and communication is required so everyone knows how their work contributes to the organization’s strategic goals and objectives. Portfolio Management: Delivering on Strategy, Second Edition focuses on the benefits of portfolio management to the organization.Its goal is to provide senior executives a view on how portfolio management can deliver organizational strategy.The emphasis is on the specific aspects within the portfolio management discipline and how each aspect should be managed from a business perspective and not necessarily from a portfolio management perspective.Highlights of the book include:Agile portfolio management Delivering organizational value Portfolio management and uncertainty Portfolio governance Marketing a portfolio Portfolio management success Starting with a review of the project portfolio concept and its development, this book is a reference for executives and practitioners in the field, as well as a students and researchers studying portfolio management.

Morality and Socially Constructed Norms
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 suspicion: 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 philosophy: 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.

What are values and norms?
Values are beliefs or principles that guide our behavior and decision-making, representing what is important to us. Norms, on the other hand, are societal rules or expectations that dictate how individuals should behave in a given situation. While values are more personal and individualistic, norms are shared by a group or society and help maintain social order and cohesion. Both values and norms play a crucial role in shaping our interactions with others and our overall worldview.

What are norms and values?
Norms are societal expectations or rules that dictate appropriate behavior in a given situation. They are the unwritten guidelines that govern how individuals should act in various social contexts. Values, on the other hand, are the beliefs and principles that are important to an individual or a society. They serve as a guiding force in decision-making and help determine what is considered right or wrong. Together, norms and values shape the culture of a society and influence the behavior of its members.
-
What are implicit, unspoken norms?
Implicit, unspoken norms are the unwritten rules and expectations that govern behavior within a particular social group or culture. These norms are not explicitly stated or communicated, but are understood and followed by members of the group through observation and socialization. They can include things like personal space, appropriate dress, and communication styles, and can vary widely across different cultures and social contexts. Implicit norms can be powerful influences on behavior, as individuals may feel pressure to conform to these expectations even without being explicitly told what they are.
