    Key Terms

    Entail(In logical reasoning and argumentation)

    Reasons-relation(as used in ethics and philosophy of action)
    The connection between a fact or situation and why it gives us a reason to do something—the relationship that explains what makes something count as a reason for acting.
    normative property(The distinction between normative and natural properties is central to the meta-ethical debate discussed)
    A property whose essential nature includes normativity — such as wrongness — as opposed to purely descriptive natural properties.
    normativity(Explained via rational willing in the Kantian framework)
    The property of norms that makes them requirements incumbent on all agents.

    primitivism(Third strategy discussed alongside positionalism and anti-positionalism regarding non-symmetric relations)
