Rules, Reasons and Norms - Selected Essays print on demand title

Informationen zum Autor Philip Pettit teaches political theory and philosophy at Princeton, where he is Professor of Politics. He moved to Princeton in 2002 from the Australian National University. Klappentext Pettit presents a selection of essays touching upon metaphysics, philosophical psychology, and the theory of rational regulation. The first part of the book discusses the rule-following character of thought. The second considers how choice can be responsive to different sorts of factors, while still being under the control of thought. The third examines the implications of this view of choice and rationality for the normative regulation of social behavior. Zusammenfassung The author draws together his essays on three subjects to which he has made contributions: the rule-following character of thought; how choice can be responsive to different sorts of factors; and the implications of this view of choice and rationality for normative regulation of social behaviour.
