Thomas Pink

Self-Determination

The Ethics of Action, Volume 1

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Do we have control of how we act, and does it matter to morality whether we do? Thomas Pink examines this free will problem by arguing that what matters to morality is not in fact the freedom to do otherwise, but something more primitive, a basic capacity or power to determine for ourselves what we do.
