Reply to critics

摘要

In this reply to critics, I reply to Stephanie Leary's, Kris McDaniel's, Tristram McPherson's and David Plunkett's articles on my book Choosing Normative Concepts. One central theme in the replies concerns what is the best strategy for the so-called ardent realist when it comes to responding to the challenge I present in the book. Another central theme concerns the criticisms of my characterizations of what normative concepts and normative properties are.
