 One example of normative conceptualism is the anti-realist view generally called “non-cognitivist expressivism”, or simply “expressivism”. This is the view that, roughly, normative assertions express conative attitudes such as approval, disapproval, aversion, or subscription to a norm. Such attitudes are akin to desires rather than to cognitive states, such as beliefs, that represent the world as being one way or another. Expressivism holds that normative judgments are at least partly constituted by conative attitudes taken toward things.
