Filippi Ferrari

In this talk, I address the question of whether logic is intrinsically or extrinsically normative. I begin with some taxonomical remarks and introduce distinctions relevant to assessing the normativity of logic. I then examine a prominent extrinsicist strategy that grounds the normativity of logic in truth and raise a few objections to it. In the final part, I sketch an intrinsicist account of the normative role that logic plays in reasoning.
