    It is not the case that If normativity is internal to practices, no practice-transcendent 'universal' norms can be indispensable in the way P1 requires.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Some norms (e.g., truth-telling, reciprocity) appear across diverse practices, suggesting practice-transcendent universal grounding.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Practices themselves rely on meta-norms (logic, consistency) that operate across all practices, not internal to any one.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Claiming normativity is internal to practices requires criteria for distinguishing legitimate from illegitimate practices—a transcendent standard.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Normativity emerges from shared understandings within practices; external universal norms would contradict this internal genesis.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Practices historically show normativity varying by context; this variability undermines claims of universal necessity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If universal norms were indispensable, they would transcend practices rather than being constituted by them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
