Julia Markovits

Opis

Julia Markovits develops a desire-based, internalist account of what normative reasons are-an account which is compatible with the idea that moral reasons can apply to all of us, regardless of our desires. She builds on Kant's formula of humanity to defend universal moral reasons, and addresses why we should be moral.

Recenzje

It is an essential book for every philosopher working in philosophy of action, metaethics or moral theory.
