N2 - I outline an expressivist account of the meaning of normative sentences, according to which normative sentences express higher-order states of being in certain kinds of complex states con-sisting of both desire-like states (or 'pro-attitudes') and non-normative beliefs. Having first introduced this kind of higher-order state view (section 1), I argue that it can exploit the resources that ecumenical expressivism is sometimes supposed to have for dealing with the Frege-Geach problem (section 2), and yet avoid the problems with the ecumenical view regarding validity, expression relation, and disagreement (sections 3, 4, and 5).
