The Tanner Lectures on Human Values, which honor the American
scholar, industrialist, and philanthropist Obert Clark Tanner, are
presented annually at each of nine universities in the United
States and Great Britain. They were established at the University
of California, Berkeley, beginning in the 2000/1 academic year. The
Berkeley Tanner Lectures Series has been established in the belief
that these distinguished lectures, together with the lively debates
stimulated by their presentation in Berkeley, deserve to be made
available to a wider audience. The Practice of Value is an
exploration of a pervasive but puzzling aspect of our world: value.
At the core of the book are the Tanner Lectures delivered at
Berkeley in 2001 by Joseph Raz, who has been one of the leading
figures in moral and legal philosophy since the 1970s. His aim is
to make sense of the dependence of value on social practice,
without falling back on cultural relativism. In response, three
eminent philosophers, Christine Korsgaard, Robert Pippin, and
Bernard Williams, offer interestingly different approaches to the
subject. The book begins with an introduction by Jay Wallace,
setting the scene for what follows, and ends with a response from
Raz to his commentators. The result is a fascinating debate,
accessible to readers throughout and beyond philosophy, about the
relations between human values and human life.
