Opis

This book investigates the relationship between our present and future selves. It focuses specifically on diachronic self-regarding decisions: choices involving our earlier and later selves, in which the earlier self makes a decision for the later self.

Recenzje

"In this innovative and wide-reaching work, Eleonora Viganò presents a new theory of how people think about and interact with their future selves. Far from a simple matter of self-control, Viganò shows us how our intertemporal trade-offs have a potent moral dimension. This book inspires a new view of selfhood and has considerable implications for the way we act in the present with our future in mind." – Adam Bulley, Harvard University and the University of Sydney
