Reviews / Votes
'Self-Control weaves together philosophical analysis and scientific evidence to provide a balanced tour of this important topic. The chapters are concise yet comprehensive and punctuated with concrete examples of self-control - and its failures - from real life and fiction. The authors expertly guide readers through traditional philosophical debates as well as cutting-edge issues, such as pathologies of self-control.' - Josh May, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USAMore details
