It begins with a novel view on practical reason that is called open-minded reasons internalism. This is a view that emphasises how certain considerations can bear on action for concrete agents, and in doing so it is an explanatory account of reasons and actions. The account is receptive to the considerations that makes much of people's lives: the motivations and dispositions they have, the notions of character and identity, and respect. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book claims that this account helps in making sense of much of the richness seen in real life in how concrete agents engage with the law. It provides the tools to explain when and why an agent identifies herself totally with the law, as Inspector Javert did in \u003ci\u003eLes Misérables\u003c\/i\u003e, but it can also explain the attitude of respect that many law-abiding citizens have, and even the merely prudential considerations of OW Holmes' famous 'bad man'. What emerges from this book is a view on law and practical reason that takes seriously the phenomenology of action. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to anyone interested in philosophical accounts of how we engage our practical reasoning with complex social practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDaniel Peixoto Murata\u003c\/b\u003e is is Professor of Law at the Mackenzie Presbyterian University, Brazil.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 June 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509968855\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936219627660,"sku":"9781509968855","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_6d0cbf33-4ff9-4f5d-a934-f8a2ad021899.jpg?v=1786015233","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781509968855","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
