Beskrivning

This book is about rationality of decisions and actions: it illustrates the continuity of the philosophy of mind with ethics and jurisprudence. Dr Hurley brings Wittgenstein's and Davidson's arguments about interpretation to bear on decision theory, social choice theory and the theory of adjudication. In each of these contexts, her particular concern is to consider the differences and similarities between interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships, and between the resolution of conflicts between persons and the resolution of conflicts faced by individuals. This theme culminates in an examination of the relationship between the values of personal autonomy and those of democracy.

It shows, throughout a very powerful intelligence and great originality. Derek Parfit, All Souls College, Oxford The book's originality lies in the juxtaposition of familiar ideas from different fields and [Hurley's] care and scholarship are certainly impressive ... I applaud warmly. There is something to think about on every page and the book's ambition is inspiring.
