This collection of essays provides the first systematic
investigation of practical necessity and offers novel perspectives
on this intriguing phenomenon. While debates on necessity often
take place in the realm of metaphysics, there is a form of
necessity that is pertinent to practical philosophy. "Here I stand.
I can do no other," a phrase habitually attributed to Martin
Luther, is often interpreted as revealing underlying normative
reasons that exhibit a special kind of necessitating force,
experienced as an inescapable constraint by the agent. However, one
of the features that make this phenomenon so fascinating is that
this constraint is often deciphered as stemming from a form of
necessitation that articulates the agent's autonomy or practical
identity. Luther's saying serves as a leitmotif for an exploration
of different claims and challenges related to practical necessity.
As the complex philosophical investigations are based on familiar,
everyday experiences the book is accessible to any academic
readership.
