Abstract

Bermúdez's "rational framing effects" are consequences of a counterintuitive phenomenon that I call "normative polyphony": the reality that a single action may, with logical consistency, sustain diverse positive and negative judgments. I show that normative polyphony emerges from "ontological polyphony" - that is, diverse possible framings of relevant details - and illustrate this "polyphony principle" through a reading of Dostoevsky's (1993) Crime and Punishment.
