Description: "When we act, our reason is slave to our passions, said Hume. And the two questions, according to Kant, that a philosopher should address are, What can I know? and What am I to do? The essays collected by editor Edna Ullmann-Margalit in Reasoning Practically address the often elusive link between reason, or theory, and practice, or action.

With new contributions from leading philosophers and legal and political theorists, this star-studded volume connects philosophical work with a variety of concrete issues in social, political, and legal practice."--BOOK JACKET.
