Description
This collection of essays explores personal identity, autonomy, and moral emotions through the lens of philosophy. J. David Velleman's work brings together themes from Kantian ethics, psychoanalytic theory, social psychology, and his own philosophy of action to form a unified thesis.
The essays, although written independently, are united by their examination of the nature of the self and its relationship to moral experience. Two of the essays were selected as among the best papers of their year by the editors of Philosophers' Annual.
