Abstract
Joseph Raz’s seminal work in legal and political philosophy and practical reason theory has been complemented in recent years by his writings on the nature of value. His account of value combines a commitment to the universality of values with an appreciation that evaluative properties depend on historically contingent social practices. This fact of dependence makes values contingent, diverse, and legitimately differentially attractive—three features that Raz shows to be compatible with universality. Importantly for the arguments contained in this symposium, Raz’s account of the nature of value has implications, which he himself develops, for what it means to show respect for persons. The essays in the symposium each engage in different ways with this topic and with the more general issue of how values provide reasons. They focus on such questions as whether the duty to respect persons is a distinct type of duty or, as Raz has argued, an instance of the more general duty to respect value; how respect for persons, respect for value, and value pluralism bear on state neutrality; and how respect for persons as addressees of claims and demands bears on the limits of practical authority.
