In this book, Andrei Marmor offers a pathbreaking and comprehensive philosophical analysis of conventions and the roles they play in social life and practical reason, and in doing so challenges the dominant view of social conventions first laid out by David Lewis. Marmor begins by giving a general account of the nature of conventions, explaining the differences between coordinative and constitutive conventions and between deep and surface conventions. He then applies this analysis to explain how conventions work in language, morality, and law. Marmor clearly demonstrates that many important semantic and pragmatic aspects of language assumed by many theorists to be conventional are in fact not, and that the role of conventions in the moral domain is surprisingly complex, playing mostly an auxiliary and supportive role. Importantly, he casts new light on the conventional foundations of law, arguing that the distinction between deep and surface conventions can be used to answer the prevalent objections to legal conventionalism. Social Conventions is a much-needed reappraisal of the nature of the rules that regulate virtually every aspect of human conduct.Princeton monographs in philosophy.Convention (Philosophy)Social sciencesPhilosophyLanguage and languagesPhilosophyElectronic books.Convention (Philosophy)Social sciencesPhilosophy.Language and languagesPhilosophy.323.01/4Marmor Andrei728244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457007203321Social conventions2484642UNINA00917nam 2200277 c 450 99654536740331620230905144113.0978-3-96208-314-4(EXLCZ)992812905900004120230905d2022 u| |txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierZukunftsfähig bleiben!9 + 1 Thesen für eine bessere BerufsbildungArbeitsgruppe 9 + 1BonnBundesinstitut für Berufsbildung2022Online-RessourceWissenschaftliche DiskussionspapiereHeft 235Erscheint auch als Print-Ausgabe 978-3-8474-2913-5 Berufsbildung(DE-588)4069342-9gndBerufsbildung37023sdnbArbeitsgruppe 9 + 1CH-ZuSLS ZPH PHZH996545367403316Zukunftsfähig bleiben3530105UNISA
