Book excerpt: Many of our everyday choices take place within sprawling and complex political structures and processes that bring about outcomes that we view as harms. Yet, because an individual's actions do not contribute measurably to bringing about the harms--and the individual's withdrawal from the process would not mitigate the harms--it is difficult to understand her affiliation with the harms and why she has reason for concern about involvement in the processes that bring them about. The expressivist account of rationality explains both.
