Description
Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons challenges our fundamental understanding of rationality, morality, and personal identity. He argues that our self-interest is often at odds with our moral principles, and that our actions can be self-defeating. By examining the consequences of our choices, Parfit reveals conclusions that can be unsettling, particularly when considering the impact on future generations.
