Sommario/riassunto

While the Is-Ought Gap has recently been a topic of growing interest, most contributions are firmly fixed on logical, often quite technical accounts of the autonomy thesis. This book defends two complementary autonomy theses that provide a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the nature of normativity.
