ABSTRACT
Acts of consent can bring about normative change, but such normative change is restricted in its scope. When A permits B to enter her home, she does not thereby permit C to do so, or B to kiss her. The normative scope of consent is not the same thing as the intentional content of an act of consent. This raises the questions: what exactly is the normative scope of an act of consent, and what determines it? In this entry some suggestions are made by way of an answer and some connections are made to other debates about consent, its nature, and limits.
