In their investigations they employ and consider our actual normative concepts. But the actual concepts of goodness, rightness, and what ought to be done are\u003cbr\u003eonly some of the possible normative concepts there are. There are other possible concepts, ascribing different properties. Matti Eklund explores the consequences of this thought, for example for the debate over normative realism, and for the debate over what it is for concepts and properties to be\u003cbr\u003enormative. Conceptual engineering - the project of considering how our concepts can be replaced by better ones - has become a central topic in philosophy. Eklund applies this methodology to central normative concepts and discusses the special complications that arise in this case. For example, \u003cbr\u003esince talk of improvement is itself normative, how should we, in the context, understand talk of a concept being better?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatti Eklund, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Theoretical Philosophy, Uppsala University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatti Eklund is Chair Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at Uppsala University.
