What is it about?
In this essay, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the various stances in the contemporary debate on the sources of political normativity: By what criteria do we determine what should and should not be done in politics? By what standards do we evaluate political principles, norms, actions, or institutions? Besides, we describe some consequences of this debate for several related areas of philosophical discussion.

Why is it important?
We believe this overview may help readers navigate and connect the numerous works within the expanding literature on political normativity, as well as the controversies between advocates of political realism and so-called political moralists.
Perspectives
This article pictures political minimalism, the stance advocated by Lilian Bermejo-Luque and Javier Rodríguez-Alcázar, as a third way between political realism and political minimalism, an attempt to dodge the objections received by the two latter stances.
