Norm Employment
What is norm employment? How should it be defined?
If it is assumed that normative theories of all types have the capacity of being employed, then it is important to define the term norm employment.
In the scientonomic context, this question was first formulated by Hakob Barseghyan in 2018. The question is currently accepted as a legitimate topic for discussion by Scientonomy community. Norm Employment (Barseghyan-2018) is currently accepted by Scientonomy community as the best available definition of the term. Norm Employment (Barseghyan-2018) states "A norm is said to be employed if its requirements constitute the actual expectations of an epistemic agent."
