{"product_id":"slaves-of-the-passions-mark-schroeder-9780199575725","title":"Slaves of the Passions","description":"Long claimed to be the dominant conception of practical reason, the Humean theory that reasons for action are instrumental, or explained by desires, is the basis for a range of worries about the objective prescriptivity of morality. As a result, it has come under intense attack in recent decades. A wide variety of arguments have been advanced which purport to show that it is false, or surprisingly, even that it is incoherent. \u003cem\u003eSlaves of the Passions\u003c\/em\u003e aims to set the record straight, by advancing a version of the Humean theory of reasons which withstands this sophisticated array of objections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMark Schroeder defends a radical new view which, if correct, means that the commitments of the Humean theory have been widely misunderstood. Along the way, he raises and addresses questions about the fundamental structure of reasons, the nature of normative explanations, the aims of and challenges facing reductive views in metaethics, the weight of reasons, the nature of desire, moral epistemology, and most importantly, the relationship between agent-relational and agent-neutral reasons for action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Schroeder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019957572X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199575725\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 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Mark Schroeder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914278469887,"sku":"9780199575725","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_802b9a8d-1c55-48ef-9fdc-6b1847082d59.jpg?v=1680641377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slaves-of-the-passions-mark-schroeder-9780199575725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
