I'm not sure I would couch it in the language of 'practicality', but I am of the same mind of Price when he says "practical rationality depends on contingent features of an agent's context in ways that are more fundamental than is usually assumed. ...as agents, we face complex teleological structures of ends to be achieved, means to avail ourselves of, and side constraints to be respected. These structures vary between contexts and agents, a variation that has truly deep effects on our practical thinking."
