Windleband, for example, developed the notion of a "normal [i.e., normative] consciousness," which is to say a consciousness that was itself productive of norms or values.
She argues, for example, that there is a normative dimension to unified consciousness — conscious states have to cohere semantically for unified consciousness to result (we will return to this issue in Section 6.3).
Compared with "History and Class Consciousness", the normative ideal of the Ontology points to a radically different conception of political action.
One recent expression of the idea is Hurley's (1998) claim that conscious states must satisfy a normative requirement if unified consciousness is to result: they must 'cohere semantically'.
Their psychological immediacy does not, Wundt thinks, compromise their normativity, since what is given in consciousness precisely is their normative character.[91] Once this character is taken for granted, the science of logic develops its systems of correct deductions [Schliessen] without further worry about the source of that normativity.
If so, Hurley's (1998) suggestion that meeting a normative requirement is necessary for unified consciousness, specifically, a requirement that the experienced properties of things in unified consciousness cohere semantically, is in trouble.
I can't go into those arguments here, but if they are correct they would provide evidence that only humans have this form of self-consciousness… If that is right, then the capacity for normative self-government and the deeper level of intentional control that goes with it is probably unique to humans beings.
This study examines the influence of weight bias and health consciousness on eating and dietary behavior; it also investigates the role of normative influences.
The research results suggest interventions aimed at improving safe food handling intentions should focus on the impacts of attitude, perceived behavior control, perception of ease, normative influences, and habits; in addition, interventions can also take advantage of Chinese consumers' conformity consciousness.
Brandom emphasizes that besides constituting self-consciousness as an "essentially, and not just accidentally, social achievement —recognition is a normative attitude.
