Abstract
Ralph Wedgwood has written a big book: not in terms of pages (though there are
plenty) but in terms of scope and ambition. Scope, in that he addresses many of the
central issues around normativity, providing an account of the semantics of ‘ought’,
and then a metaphysics and an epistemology to go with it; ambition in that so much
of this is novel. Along the way there are myriad discussion of relevant philosophical
background issues and of methodology.
