The concept of practical reason is central to contemporary thought
on ethics and the philosophy of law - acting well means acting for
good reasons. Explaining this requires several stages. How do
reasons relate to actions at all, as incentives and in
explanations? What are values, how do they relate to human nature,
and how do they enter practical reasoning? How do the concepts of
'right and wrong' fit in, and in what way do they involve questions
of mutual trust among human beings? How does our moral freedom -
our freedom to form our own moral commitments - relate to our
responsibilities to each other? How is this final question
transposed into law and legal commitments?
This book explores these questions, vital to understanding the
nature of law and morality. It presents a clear account of
practical reason, valuable to students of moral philosophy and
jurisprudence at undergraduate or postgraduate levels. For more
advanced scholars it also offers a reinterpretation of Kant's views
on moral autonomy and Smith's on self-command, marrying Smith's
'moral sentiments' to Kant's 'categorical imperative' in a novel
way.
The book concludes and underpins the author's Law, State, and
Practical Reason series. Taken together the books offer an
overarching theory of the nature of law and legal reason, the role
of the State, and the nature of moral reason and judgement.
