Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Importance of Being Rational systematically defends a novel reasons-based account of rationality. The book's central thesis is that what it is for one to be rational is to correctly respond to the normative reasons one possesses. Errol Lord defends novel views about what it is to possess reasons and what it is to correctly respond to reasons. He shows that these views not only help to support the book's main thesis, they also help to resolve severalimportant problems that are independent of rationality. The account of possession provides novel contributions to debates about what determines what we ought to do, and the account of correctly responding toreasons provides novel contributions to debates about causal theories of reacting for reasons.After defending views about possession and correctly responding, Lord shows that the account of rationality can solve two difficult problems about rationality. The first is the New Evil Demon problem. The book argues that the account has the resources to show that internal duplicates necessarily have the same rational status. The second problem concerns the deontic significance ofrationality. Recently it has been doubted whether we ought to be rational. The ultimate conclusion of the book is that the requirements of rationality are the requirements that we ultimately ought tocomply with. If this is right, then rationality is of fundamental importance to our deliberative lives. Errol Lord offers a new account of the nature of rationality: what it is for one to be rational is to correctly respond to the normative reasons one possesses. Lord defends novel views about what it is to possess reasons and what it is to correctly respond to reasons, and dispels doubts about whether we ought to be rational.

Hardback. Condition: New. What does it mean to know that something is beautiful, just, or wrong, not as an article of theory, but as something that presses upon us and demands a response? Knowing the Normative World offers a sophisticated account of how we come to apprehend the normative world, not as idle spectators but as engaged evaluators. It provides not merely a technical treatment in epistemology, but a vision of the kind of normative knowledge that matters to us in living meaningful lives.This is an epistemology not of distance but of acquaintance, where normative truths are not just deduced, but disclosed. Knowing the Normative World brings together the epistemologies of ethics and aesthetics under a unified framework, showing how our encounters with value are shaped by acquaintance. Such encounters yield appreciative knowledge, a form of knowledge that provides the ability to respond appreciatively to the normative parts of the world.At once theoretically ambitious and attuned to the subtleties of experience, this book reshapes how we think about the epistemology of normativity. It invites us to see that value is something the world makes available if we are oriented toward it with the right kind of sensitivity. Knowing the Normative World offers not just an account of how we come to know what matters, but a vision of what it is to be formed by such knowledge.…
