Charlotte Witt's finely crafted book offers an original and powerful account of social role normativity––the normativity of norms associated with social roles––revolving around Aristotle's conception of function. A further but no less important aim of the book is to address the dispute between internalists and externalists about social role normativity and to defend externalism. This is a beautiful and enlightening book, a must-read for any social ontologist.

Charlotte Witt's finely crafted book offers an original and powerful account of social role normativity––the normativity of norms associated with social roles––revolving around Aristotle's conception of function. A further but no less important aim of the book is to address the dispute between internalists and externalists about social role normativity and to defend externalism. This is a beautiful and enlightening book, a must-read for any social ontologist.
