Connections

In this chapter, connections to a number of other central debates in the literature are explored. Among questions brought up are ones relating to normative indeterminacy and vagueness (there are similarities between issues brought up here and issues brought up in connection with normative indeterminacy), quietism (how do the present concerns affect the quietism recently defended by e.g. T.M. Scanlon?), whether the problems discussed in the book raise worries for other theorists besides realists (the answer is yes), non-naturalism (can appeal to Alternative-unfriendliness help ward off objections to this view?), creeping minimalism (does the present framework help ward off this kind of worry?), and essentially contested concepts (can the present framework help make sense of this notion?).
