What are our reasons for acting? Morality purports to give us these
reasons, and so do norms of prudence and the laws of society. The
theory of practical reason assesses the authority of these
potentially competing claims, and for this reason philosophers with
a wide range of interests have converged on the topic of reasons
for action. This volume contains eleven essays on practical reason
by leading and emerging philosophers. Topics include the
differences between practical and theoretical rationality,
practical conditionals and the wide-scope ought, the explanation of
action, the sources of reasons, and the relationship between
morality and reasons for action. The volume will be essential
reading for all philosophers interested in ethics and practical
reason.
