Produktbeschreibung
Nature and Rational Agency is a collection of essays that revolve around a normative approach to rational agency. Thematically, the essays focus on the relationship between self and nature, as well as between subject and co-subjects.

But, on the other hand, our understanding of ourselves as rational agents has a special status in the sense that it is a condition for having scientific knowledge of nature.

Our actions are essentially judged as more or less good, right, or fitting, as opposed to natural courses of events.
