{"product_id":"dear-prudence-guy-fletcher-9780198858263","title":"Dear Prudence: The Nature and Normativity of Prudential Discourse","description":"Philosophers have long theorized about what makes people's lives go well, and why, and the extent to which morality and self-interest can be reconciled. However, we have spent little time on meta-prudential questions, questions about prudential discourse--thought and talk about what is good and bad for us; what contributes to well-being; and what we have prudential reason, or prudentially ought, to do. This situation is surprising given that prudence is, \u003cem\u003eprima facie\u003c\/em\u003e, a normative form of discourse and cries out for further investigation of what it is like and whether it has problematic commitments. It also marks a stark contrast from moral discourse, about which there has been extensive theorizing, in meta-ethics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDear Prudence: The Nature and Normativity of Prudential Discourse\u003c\/em\u003e has three broad aims. Firstly, Guy Fletcher explores the nature of prudential discourse. Secondly, he argues that prudential discourse is normative and authoritative, like moral discourse. Thirdly, Fletcher aims to show that prudential discourse is worthy of further, explicit, attention both due to its intrinsic interest but also for the light it sheds on the meta-normative more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Fletcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198858264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198858263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2022","brand":"Guy Fletcher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993582600447,"sku":"9780198858263","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2e3bd74-a643-4630-8739-163cd52bbe23.jpg?v=1683325141","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dear-prudence-guy-fletcher-9780198858263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
