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, prima\n\u003cbr\u003efacie, 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\n\u003cbr\u003ethere has been extensive theorizing, in meta-ethics.Dear Prudence: The Nature and Normativity of Prudential Discourse 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\n\u003cbr\u003esheds on the meta-normative more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058724983022,"sku":"9780198858263","price":153.61,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198858263.jpg?v=1736481543","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/dear-prudence-the-nature-and-normativity-of-prudential-discourse","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
