We invent a tune, play, or use it to celebrate an occasion. Or we make a conceptual leap and ask more abstract questions about the conditions for agency. They include autonomy and self-appraisal, each contested by arguments immersing us in circumstances we don't control. But can it be true we that have no personal responsibility for all we think and do? Agency: Moral Identity and Free Will proposes that deliberation, choice, and free will emerged within the evolutionary history of animals with a physical advantage: organisms having cell walls or exoskeletons had an internal space within which to protect themselves from external threats or encounters. This defense was both structural and active: such organisms could ignore intrusions or inhibit risky behavior. Their capacities evolved with time: inhibition became the power to deliberate and choose the manner of one's responses. Hence the ability of humans and some other animals to determine their reactions to problematic situations or to information that alters values and choices. This is free will as a material power, not as the conclusion to a conceptual argument. Having it makes us morally responsible for much we do. It prefigures moral identity. Closely argued but plainly written, Agency: Moral Identity and Free Will speaks for autonomy and responsibility when both are eclipsed by ideas that embed us in history or tradition. Our sense of moral choice and freedom is accurate. We are not altogether the creatures of our circumstances."--Publisher's website.Free will and determinismFree will and determinism.123.5Weissman David1936-863071MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910404148603321Agency1926680UNINA05377nam 2200661 450 991078881010332120200520144314.00-12-800830-X(CKB)3370000000000963(EBL)1887713(OCoLC)898422006(SSID)ssj0001453714(PQKBManifestationID)11823904(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001453714(PQKBWorkID)11510332(PQKB)11519552(Au-PeEL)EBL1887713(CaPaEBR)ebr10999595(CaONFJC)MIL287957(OCoLC)900639849(PPN)192538586(CaSebORM)9780128007617(MiAaPQ)EBC1887713(EXLCZ)99337000000000096320150113h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrJoe Celko's sql for smarties advanced sql programming /Joe CelkoFifth edition.Waltham, Massachusetts :Morgan Kaufmann,2015.©20151 online resource (853 p.)The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management SystemsIncludes index.0-12-800761-3 Includes bibliographic references and index.Front Cover; Joe Celko's sql for Smarties: Advanced sql Programming; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Introduction to the Fifth Edition; What is New in this Edition; Corrections and Additions; Part 1: Data Declaration Features; Chapter 1: Databases Versus File Systems; 1.1.

Now, 20 years later and in its fifth edition, this classic reference still reigns supreme as the only book written by a SQL master that teaches programmers and practitioners to become SQL masters themselves! These are not just tips and techniques; also offered are the best solutions to old and new challenges.
