Mark van Roojen's new book, A Sensible Moral Rationalism, will be published by Oxford University Press on June 25.

This book:

  • gives a novel account of the relationship between motivating reason explanations and normative reasons
  • defuses worries about what reasons there are to be rational by explicating reasons as explainers of why a response is rational
  • includes both structural and substantive components of rationality in such a way as to make it plausible that moral requirements are requirements of rationality

As a professor in the Department of Philosophy, van Roojen mainly teaches and publishes in the areas of metaethics, ethics and political philosophy.
