About This Book
<P>The essays presented here are the outcome of research carried out by members of IFILNOVA (Institute for Philosophy of New University of Lisbon) in 2016.</P>
<P>The IFILNOVA Permanent Seminar seeks to show how values are relevant to humans (both socially and individually). This seminar is the ?place? where different research will converge towards a unified viewpoint. This includes the discussion of the following questions: What is the philosophical contribution to current affairs and decisions that depend crucially on values? Can philosophy make a difference, namely by bringing practical reason to bear on these affairs and decision? And how to do it? Which are our scientific ?allies? in this enterprise; psychology, communication sciences, even sociology and history?</P>
<P>This volume shows the connection between practical rationality and values and covers the dimensions ethics, aesthetics and politics.</P>
