When thinking about how human behaviour is regulated, one generally imagines a regulation consisting of norms linguistically expressed in sentences: that is, “sentential deontic regulation”. However, this notion of regulation is reductive because there are (non-deontic and) non-sentential forms of regulation. In this article, we do not restrict our investigation to (non-deontic and) non-sentential forms of regulation; we examine whether there are forms of (non-deontic) regulation that are even not propositional. In this regard, we advance the hypothesis that there are indeed cases of “non-propositional regulation”: that is, regulation that does not need propositions and propositional contents.

Abstract

When thinking about how human behaviour is regulated, one generally imagines a regulation consisting of norms linguistically expressed in sentences: that is, “sentential deontic regulation”. However, this notion of regulation is reductive because there are (non-deontic and) non-sentential forms of regulation. In this article, we do not restrict our investigation to (non-deontic and) non-sentential forms of regulation; we examine whether there are forms of (non-deontic) regulation that are even not propositional. In this regard, we advance the hypothesis that there are indeed cases of “non-propositional regulation”: that is, regulation that does not need propositions and propositional contents.
