The Practice of Value

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interplay between value and social practices, this book features Joseph Raz's Tanner Lectures from 2001, where he asserts that values are shaped by social conditions without succumbing to cultural relativism. Three prominent philosophers—Christine Korsgaard, Robert Pippin, and Bernard Williams—provide their insights on the relationship between value and practice. An introduction by Jay Wallace sets the context, while Raz concludes with responses to his critics, creating an engaging dialogue accessible to a broad audience interested in philosophy and human values.
