Description
The Practice of Value by Joseph Raz explores a fundamental aspect of our world: value. This thought-provoking exploration delves into the dependence of value on social practice, challenging cultural relativism and offering a nuanced understanding of human values. A distinguished debate unfolds in this book, featuring contributions from prominent philosophers Christine Korsgaard, Robert Pippin, Bernard Williams, and an introduction by Jay Wallace. The result is a fascinating discussion about the relationships between human values and human life, accessible to readers with varying backgrounds and interests. Through Raz's Tanner Lectures and responses from his commentators, this book presents a rich exploration of value that will appeal to those interested in philosophy, ethics, and law.
