Description
The Multiple Self by Jon Elster A collection of essays exploring the nature of the self and its relationship to rationality, decision-making, and behavior. This volume brings together leading philosophers, psychologists, and economists to examine the concept of a multiple self and its implications for understanding human thought and action. The essays in this book consider the idea that the self may be composed of multiple, distinct parts, and how this affects our understanding of rationality, decision-making, and behavior. The authors investigate whether the concept of a multiple self is necessary to address issues such as self-deception and weakness of will, and whether tools developed for studying interpersonal conflict can be applied to analyzing intra-personal struggles. This book provides a unique perspective on the nature of human thought and behavior, and offers insights into some of the most fundamental questions in philosophy, psychology, and economics.
