 For a similar reason, one might think there could not be a correct naturalistic constitutive explanation of the (second-order) property of being normative, or of any of the normativity properties. A correct naturalistic account of the essential nature of any such property would need to identify a natural property (or naturalistic condition) as the explanans, where this explanans would be the essential nature of the normative property. But if natural properties and conditions are not normative, no such thing could be the essential nature of the property of being normative.
