We must all make choices about how we want to live. We evaluate our possibilities
by relying on historical, moral, personal, political, religious, and scientific modes of
understandings, but the values and reasons that follow from them conflict. Philosophical
problems are forced on us when we try to cope with such conflicts. There are reasons
for and against all proposed ways of coping with the conflicts, but none of them has
been generally accepted by reasonable thinkers. The constructive aim is to propose
a way of understanding the nature of such philosophical problems, explain why they
occur, why they are perennial, and propose a pluralist approach as the most reasonable
way of coping with them. This approach is practical, context-dependent, and particular.
It follows from it that the recurrence of philosophical problems is not a defect, but a
welcome consequence of the richness of our modes of understanding that enlarges
the range of possibilities by which we might choose to live. The critical aim of the
book is to give reasons against both the absolutist attempt to find an overriding value
or principle for resolving philosophical problems, and the relativist claim that reasons
unavoidably come to an end and how we want to live is ultimately a matter of personal
preference, not of reasons.
