However, we have spent little time on meta-prudential questions, questions about prudential discourse--thought and talk about what is good and bad for us; what contributes to well-being; and what we have prudential reason, or prudentially ought, to do. This situation is surprising given that prudence is, \u003cem\u003eprima facie\u003c\/em\u003e, a normative form of discourse and cries out for further investigation of what it is like and whether it has problematic commitments. It also marks a stark contrast from moral discourse, about which there has been extensive theorizing, in meta-ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDear Prudence: The Nature and Normativity of Prudential Discourse\u003c\/em\u003e has three broad aims. Firstly, Guy Fletcher explores the nature of prudential discourse. Secondly, he argues that prudential discourse is normative and authoritative, like moral discourse. Thirdly, Fletcher aims to show that prudential discourse is worthy of further, explicit, attention both due to its intrinsic interest but also for the light it sheds on the meta-normative more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuy Fletcher, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Edinburgh\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGuy Fletcher is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh.
