Le phantasme de la norme: noème déontique et noèse déontique

What is a norm? In different contexts different entities are referred to by the word 'norm'. Starting from Amedeo G. Conte's (2006; 2017) analysis of five referents of this word (deontic sentence, deontic utterance, deontic proposition, deontic state-of-affairs and deontic noema), two more referents are here initially introduced (deontic object and deontic conduct), and the concept of deontic noema (the idea or mental representation of a norm) is subsequently more deeply investigated. The notion of deontic noema allows to switch the focus of the research on norms from the norm-issuing dimension to the dimension of normative experience. Despite of appearing at first as a secondary concept, this notion proves fruitful both in the analysis of norm efficacy (or operance) on agents' behaviour, and in the analysis of those forms of normativity which emerge independently of any explicit norm-issuing act, such as spontaneous norms, customary norms, cryptotypes and jurisprudential law.
