Description
The Roots of Normativity by Joseph Raz explores one of philosophy's most fundamental questions: how to explain normativity in its many forms. Over several decades, Raz has developed an answer, which posits that understanding normativity lies in grasping the roles and structures of normative reasons - those reasons for action based on values. This volume collects twelve chapters that outline his view and examine its applications, shedding light on how normative reasons are formed for rational beings like ourselves. Raz's value-based account of normativity is applied to various aspects of human life, including relationships and the pursuit of a sense of identity as social beings.
