Reihe: The Berkeley Tanner Lectures

'The Practice of Value' is an exploration of a pervasive but puzzling aspect of our world: value. The starting-point is the Berkeley Tanner Lectures delivered in 2001 by Joseph Raz. The lectures are followed by discussions from three philosophers, Christine Korsgaard, Robert Pippin, and Bernard Williams, and a response from Raz.
