He argues that reason is responsiveness to reasons, and moral judgments are true or false in virtue of the moral reasons there are. The book branches widely into related topics such as freedom, the causal order of the world, textual interpretation, the nature of the self, self-knowledge, and the concept of duties to ourselves. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17 June 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his groundbreaking book, Charles Larmore delves into the intricate realms of morality, freedom, and reason, challenging the prevailing naturalistic metaphysics that governs much of modern thought. According to Larmore, reason is not merely a cognitive process but a responsiveness to reasons, and these reasons themselves possess a fundamentally normative essence. They consist in the way that physical and psychological facts, facts about the world of nature, weigh in favor of possibilities of thought and action that we can embrace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoral judgments, therefore, are true or false based on the existence of moral reasons. To fully understand the nature of reality, we require a more comprehensive metaphysics that acknowledges a normative dimension to existence. While this book takes its point of departure in the analysis of moral judgment, it branches out into various related topics, including freedom, the causal order of the world, textual interpretation, the nature of the self, self-knowledge, and the concept of duties to ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLarmore's profound exploration of these subjects offers a fresh perspective on the human condition, challenging our preconceived notions and illuminating new avenues for philosophical inquiry. Through his meticulous analysis and thoughtful arguments, Larmore invites us to reevaluate our understanding of morality, freedom, and reason, and to explore the deeper implications of these concepts for our lives and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 508g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 236 x 21 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108472340\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CharlesLarmore","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44095047663866,"sku":"9781108472340","price":74.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4993212ebf9420c1e882aaa07fa74e7c.jpg?v=1633055455","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/morality-and-metaphysics","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
