This volume is a selection of Broome's recent papers on normativity,
rationality, and reasoning. It covers a variety of topics such as the
meanings of 'ought', 'reason', and 'reasons'; the fundamental
structure of normativity and the metaphysical priority of ought over
reasons; the ownership - or agent-relativity - of oughts and reasons;
the distinction between rationality and normativity; the notion of
rational motivation; what characterizes the human activity of
reasoning, and what is the role of normativity within it; the nature
of preferences and of reasoning with preferences; and others. These
papers extend the work presented in his book Rationality Through
Reasoning but there is little overlap between their content and the
book's. They develop further some themes and arguments from the book,
and answer some questions that the book left unanswered.
