Wise Choices, Apt Feelings: A Theory of Normative JudgmentThis book examines some of the deepest questions in philosophy: What is involved in judging a belief, action, or feeling to be rational?

When we find ourselves in fundamental disagreement with whole communities, how can we understand our disagreement and cope with it? |
