 We don’t want to take a hard stand here on whether conceptual or worldly questions are more important: the truth is probably that both kinds of question are important at various junctures. However, if we are right that virtually every party to debates about normativity would agree that there are normative concepts, the main area of debate is going to be in metaphysics, about whether or not there are worldly normative properties and facts. We think that philosophers’ different views about the metaphysical issues will go a long way toward explaining their different views about other matters, such as the nature of normative thoughts, the nature of moral motivation, and so on. We will therefore begin with issues about normative facts and properties.
