Incommensurability, Incomparability, and Practical Reason
Cambridge, MA, USA: Harvard (1997)
Abstract
Can quite different values be rationally weighed against one another? Can the value of one thing always be ranked as greater than, equal to, or less than the value of something else? If not, when do we find commensurability and comparability unavailable? What are the moral and legal implications? In this book, philosophers address these questions.Author's Profile
