Engaging Reason offers a penetrating examination of a set of
fundamental questions about human thought and action. In these
tightly argued and interconnected essays Joseph Raz examines the
nature of normativity, reason, and the will; the justification of
reason; and the objectivity of value. He argues for the centrality,
but also demonstrates the limits, of reason in action and belief.
He suggests that our life is most truly our own when our various
emotions, hopes, desires, intentions, and actions are guided by
reason. He explores the universality of value and of principles of
reason on one side, and on the other side their dependence on
social practices, and their susceptibility to change and
improvement. He concludes with an illuminating explanation of
self-interest and its relation to impersonal values in general and
to morality in particular. Joseph Raz has been since the 1970s a
prominent, original, and widely admired contributor to the study of
norms, values, and reasons, not just in philosophy but in political
and legal theory. This volume displays the power and unity of his
thought on these subjects, and will be essential reading for all
who work on them.
