​This handbook was published in hardback  by Oxford University Press in 2018. It is forthcoming in 2022 in a paperback edition (see some of the new back cover text to the right). It ​constitutes the first comprehensive and in depth overview of contemporary work on reasons, across ethics and epistemology and other subdisciplines, with 45 contributions (including my introduction) on the nature of practical and theoretical reasons, and associated issues concerning normativity. Here is the table of contents.
