Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is a collection of published and unpublished essays by distinguished philosopher Michael E. Bratman of Stanford University. They revolve around his influential theory, know as the "planning theory of intention and agency." Bratman's primary concern is with what he calls "strong" forms of human agency--including forms of human agency that are the target of our talk about self-determination, self-government, and autonomy. These essays are unified and cohesive in theme, and will be of interest to philosophers in ethics and metaphysics.

Michael E. Bratman is Durfee Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences and Professor of Philosophy at Stanford University.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where clarity overpowers complexity, May 13, 2007
By Jaime Malamud "JEM" (Buenos Aires, Capital Federal Argentina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is a great book. It's capital merit is the unpretentious carity and simplicity that renders a host of long standing problems of mind and action accessible to anybody who is keen on reflection. I is highly recommendable to the entire span of scholar with an interest in the the peculiarities of the mind.
