Summary
Social practices are inherently normative; no non-normative social practices exist. Yet, the extension and intensity of inherent normativity varies. The primary interlinking factor of dispersed practices is a common understanding of the criteria that acting must meet in order to be treated as a token of a particular practice; as ‘X-ing’. Such thin, conceptual, normativity is not specific to social practices. All our conceptual thinking and identifying of entities and events, as well as arranging the objective, social and subjective world, involves such normativity.
