Opis

This work is part of the growing field of practical approaches to philosophical questions relating to identity, agency and ethics, working across continental and analytical traditions. Kim Atkins explicates the structures of human embodiment and gives an account of how those structures necessitate a narrative model of selfhood.

Recenzje

"Atkins' book is ambitious and wide-ranging, and contains much of interest not only to narrative theorists but also to anyone interested in theories of agency and moral psychology more generally." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
