Books by Ruth Chang

This book attempts to answer two questions: Are alternatives for choice ever incomparable? and In what ways can items be compared? The arguments offered suggest that alternatives for choice no matter how different are never incomparable, and that the ways in which items can be compared are richer and more varied than commonly supposed.

This is the first book length treatment of incomparability, value and practical reason, arguing that alternatives for choice, no matter how different, are never incomparable and that comparisons can be more various than is thought.
