Abstract
I propose a new way of thinking about the normativity of structural rationality, or coherence. Perhaps coherence requirements do not have normative significance when we separate them from everything else. But these requirements can be attractive once we see how they fit in the broader normative landscape. In various theories of rationality, justification and evidence-responsiveness, coherence plays an important role, but can’t be isolated from other desiderata. This lends support in favour of a “nonseparable” vindication of the normativity of structural rationality.
