Commitment, Norm-Governedness and Guidance
Acta Analytica, 2020A number of philosophers have argued that there is a basic problem in the no-guidance argument against content normativism. The problem is that the argument restricts the essential normativity of intentional states to the formation of these states being guided by certain norms.

The American Journal of Jurisprudence, 2009There are many ways in which one may come to be committed to something.
