Practical Reason and Norms - Raz, Joseph (Professor of the Philosophy of Law, Professor of the Philosophy of Law, University of Oxford a and Visiting Professor of Jurisprudence, Columbia University, New York)

Joseph Raz offers an explanation of the normativity of rules, promises, decisions, and orders, of games, and of the law, using an analysis of a special type of reasons, i.e. reasons to exclude other reasons, providing an account of the systematic interdependence of rules in legal and other systems, and an account of types of normative discourse.
