About the book >.>.> The Practice of Value explores the intricate relationship between value and the social and historical contexts in which individuals operate. At the heart of the book are the Tanner Lectures delivered by Joseph Raz at Berkeley in 2004. Raz, a prominent figure in moral and legal philosophy since the 1970s, argues that values are significantly shaped by social practices. Importantly, he asserts that this dependence can be understood without resorting to cultural relativism, providing a structured framework for examining human values.The book features responses from three esteemed philosophers?Christine Korsgaard, Robert Pippin, and Bernard Williams?who contribute their insights on the interplay between value and practice. This dialogue encourages readers to engage with diverse perspectives on how values are formed and understood within varying social contexts. The text begins with an introduction by Jay Wallace, which establishes the groundwork for the discussions that ensue, and concludes with Raz's responses to his commentators, creating a comprehensive examination of the subject.The Practice of Value offers a thought-provoking exploration of the connections between human values and lived experience, making it accessible to a wide audience beyond academic circles. The Tanner Lectures, known for their intellectual rigor, stimulate vibrant debates on human values, and this compilation makes those discussions available to a broader readership, enriching the ongoing discourse in philosophy and related fields. The book invites reflection on how values are not only shaped by individual beliefs but are also a product of collective social engagement. (LL). Seller Inventory # Batch-FM767-LN-15239

Paperback. Condition: New. 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. Seller Inventory # LU-9780199278466
