Spheres of Reason

Spheres of Reason comprises nine new articles on the philosophy of normativity, written by a combination of internationally renowned and up-and-coming philosophers working at the forefront of the topic. Normativity concerns norms, requirements, oughts, reasons, reasoning, rationality, justification, value. Such notions play a central role in both everyday thought and philosophical enquiry. As well as exploring traditional and ongoing issues, these essays develop new approaches to and perspectives in the field. Notably, they make a timely and distinctive contribution to our understanding of how normative thought may or may not be unified across the spheres of actions, belief and feeling. With an editor's introduction providing a comprehensive and accessible background to the subject, Spheres of Reason is essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of normativity and the bearing it has on human thought.
