Multiple Self

Herausgeber: Elster, Jon

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The essays in this volume consider the question of whether the self is a unity or whether it should be conceived without metaphor as divided - as a 'multiple self'. The issue is a central one for several disciplines. It bears directly on the account of rationality and the explanation of individual decision-making and behavior.
