Description
Joseph Raz explores the fundamental questions of our duties and rights in this thought-provoking philosophical work. He examines the nature of normativity, which underlies our everyday decisions about what to do.
Raz considers when we are responsible for our actions and omissions, and offers a novel account of responsibility. He argues that responsibility is not just about unjustified actions or attitudes, but also about justified ones, and how it relates to praiseworthiness.
This book provides insight into the meaning of normativity and its implications for our understanding of being in the world. It is a valuable contribution to ethics and moral philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on these complex issues.
