The Bounds of Choice (eBook, ePUB)

Unchosen Virtues, Unchosen Commitments

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Presents a sustained and original challenge to the orthodox understanding of the relationship between morality and voluntary choice. The two main theses of the book are that we can be morally responsible for aspects of our character that we have not chosen or otherwise authored, and that we can enter into interpersonal commitments to which we have not voluntarily consented.
