Practical reason: Papers and discussions

Rate this book
"Five major papers and fifteen comments and replies constitute this volume of the Proceedings of the First Bristol Conference on Critical Philosophy. Each explores a dimension of the relationships between practical reason, theoretical reason, and morality. Several present viewpoints and hypotheses not previously advanced. The range of scope and depth indicates a freedom from editorial restriction and provides a feeling of being present at the conference..Philosophy and rhetoric share the boundary of practical reason. This volume provides thought-provoking illumination for some of the contiguous territories. It shows philosophers reasoning practically."-Philosophy and Rhetoric

Born to a Jewish family in Czechoslovakia, he left the country to avoid certain death at the hands of the Nazis after the German occupation in 1939, and came to the United Kingdom as a refugee, where he began his study of philosophy; by 1952 he was a professor of philosophy at the University of Bristol, taking up a second professorship at Yale in 1970. He was married to Edith Körner, and was the father of the mathematician Thomas Körner and the biochemist, writer and translator (née) Ann M. Körner.
