Inhaltsangabe

The essays in this volume consider the question of whether the self is a unity or whether it should be conceived without metaphor as divided - as a 'multiple self'. It bears directly on the account of rationality and the explanation of individual decision-making and behaviour. This issue, a central one for several disciplines, is addressed by leading philosophers, psychologists and economists.

Críticas:

"This is a very fine and informative book. Each chapter is written in a clear and relatively accessible manner by an established and sometimes illustrious specialist in his or her own discipline. The book as a whole is well-edited and introduced by Elster." Clio
