Reason, Larmore argues, is responsiveness to reasons, and reasons themselves are essentially normative in character, consisting in the way that physical and psychological facts - facts about the world of nature - count in favor of possibilities of thought and action that we can take up. Moral judgments are true or false in virtue of the moral reasons there are. We need therefore a more comprehensive metaphysics that recognizes a normative dimension to reality as well. Though taking its point of departure in the analysis of moral judgment, this book branches widely into related topics such as freedom and the causal order of the world, textual interpretation, the nature of the self, self-knowledge, and the concept of duties to ourselves.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Charles LarmoreGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 364gRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
