The invention of norms: how ethics, law, and the life sciences shape our social selves

该项目旨在对规范概念的出现和作用提出新的解释。虽然规范一直是学术界关注的主题，但其历史从未被记录。该项目旨在研究生命科学、法律的论述和伦理学关键领域中规范、常态和规范性的概念词汇的发展。它展示了这些话语如何相互联系并与社会机构联系起来，将为“正常化”社会提供新的见解。因此，它的目的是了解个人和公共政策如何在规则和文化守则日益多样化的情况下成功地驾驭当今各个领域的规范扩散。

This project aims to produce a new account of the emergence and role of the concept of norms. While norms have been the subject of significant academic attention, their history has never been recorded. This project aims to study the development of the conceptual vocabulary of norms, normality and normativity in the key areas of the life sciences, legal discourse, and ethics. Showing how these discourses link up to one another and to social institutions, it will produce new insights into the 'normalising' society. Its purpose is thus to understand how individuals and public policy can successfully navigate the proliferation of norms in various fields today, in a situation of increasing diversity of rules and cultural codes.
