Anti-exceptionalism about Logic and Normativity of Logic

The dominant conception of logic since Kant holds that normativity is the central feature of logic. The anti-exceptionalism about logic asserts that logic is similar to the natural sciences in nature, content, and methods of study, and that logic is not exceptional to science. Scientific knowledge is normative in a weaker sense. Does logic have a distinct normativity from science? In this paper, we show that logic under different conceptions has different meanings of normativity in terms of both normative autonomy and constitutionality, i.e., the normativity of logic as a logical theory is not exceptional, but logic as a rule of thought has a distinct normativity and thus does not apply to the anti-exceptionalism about logic.
