Young Researchers' Conference
Normative Orders: Justification and Sanctions
23 - 25 October 2009
Goethe University Frankfurt/Main / Campus Westend
Normative orders are those orderings of norms and values that legitimate society’s structures of authority and distribution of life chances. The general character of such orders is disputed, however. One point of view holds that such orders are narrowly connected to the ability to impose sanctions. Another holds that their justification and narratives of justification are the key elements. The aim of this first young researchers’ conference is to clarify the relation of justifications and sanctions. They are both central for the evolution, the implementation and the preservation of normative orders. Yet, about their interplay we know very little.
We are especially pleased to gather more than 60 young researchers from 35 universities and nine countries in Frankfurt, and we are looking forward to the discussions in eleven thematically different inter-disciplinary panels.
