First published in 1976, this is a comprehensive study of practical
thinking. Professor Koerner shows the complex relations which a
person's practical attitudes bear to each other, and shows in
particular how their moral or prudential character depends not only
on their content and form but also on their place in the system
constituted by them. There are detailed accounts of the concepts of
morality, prudence, justice, welfare and legality, as well as the
logical foundations, epistemology and metaphysics of practical
thinking. The book is intended for philosophers and for those
political theorists and social scientists who are concerned with
the philosophical presuppositions and implications of their
enquiries. The book is deliberately organized so that those with
less interest in the logical issues dealt with in Part I can
proceed quickly and easily to the more substantive issues in Parts
II and III.
