abstract = {The main goal of this paper is to show that politics constitutes a normative domain of its own. To this, a concept of political
value that explains why the politically good provides reasons for actions is indispensable. I shape this concept by adopting the
framework of political minimalism and developing one of its central tenets, namely, that politics, as a constitutively normative
practice, specifies objective standards for evaluating political phenomena. I characterize the notion of political value in these
terms to offer a non-moralist foundation for political normativity. In this endeavor, the work of Bernard Williams plays two
opposing roles: while his metapolitical ideas exemplify the shortcomings of substantialist accounts of political normativity,
his criticism of the morality system and his conception of practical rationality as all-things-considered practical deliberation
are fundamental, to the point that the conception of political normativity endorsed here can be seen as an extension of
Williams’ ideas on normativity in general. Finally, I draw some consequences from this account of political minimalism to
show that this conception of political normativity can hardly be considered a variety of political realism.},
