Description
Value, Respect and Attachment explores how values shape our personal and public lives. Joseph Raz argues that values are inherently universal, as this is a necessary condition for their intelligibility.
The book challenges common conceptions of universality, such as those found in human rights discourse, while seeking to reconcile the universality of value with its social dependence and the importance of deep attachments to people and places.
Through an examination of personal love, the value of life, and the fundamental duty of respect for others, Raz aims to provide a nuanced understanding of values and their role in our lives.
