- Summary:
- "Krista Lawlor offers the first comprehensive study of reasonableness. Being reasonable is critical to law, politics, and daily life. But what exactly is reasonableness? Distinguishing it from rationality and thoughtfulness, Lawlor shows that reasonable people seek to know what is valuable and do so by attending to their emotions and to each other."-- Provided by publisher.
