Böcker av Joseph (Professor of the Philosophy of Law Raz

Joseph Raz offers an explanation of the normativity of rules, promises, decisions, and orders, of games, and of the law, using an analysis of a special type of reasons, i.e. reasons to exclude other reasons, providing an account of the systematic interdependence of rules in legal and other systems, and an account of types of normative discourse.

Joseph Raz presents a penetrating exploration of the interdependence of value, reason, and the will. These essays illuminate a wide range of questions concerning fundamental aspects of human thought and action. Engaging Reason is a summation of many years of original, compelling, and influential work by a major contemporary philosopher.

Explores a pervasive but puzzling aspect of our world: value. Starting with the "Berkeley Tanner Lectures" delivered in 2001, this work aims to make sense of the dependence of value on social practice, without falling back on cultural relativism.
