These so-called "normative" judgments have seemed puzzling in part because they exhibit both belief-like and desire-like features. Traditional cognitivist theories hold that these judgments are beliefs rather than desires; traditional non-cognitivist theories hold that they are desires rather than beliefs. Each of these traditions tries to accommodate or explain away what the_x000D_other tradition handles so easily. One often gets the sense that the defenders of these increasingly complex theories are trying to force a square peg into a round hole. So-called "hybrid theories" try to have the best of both worlds by understanding normative judgments as constituted by both_x000D_belief-like and desire-like states CN - B105.N65 SN - 9780191505126 SN - 0191505129 SN - 1306477190 SN - 9781306477192 KW - Norm (Philosophy) KW - Practical judgment.
