MeleNew York Oxford University Press19951 online resource (viii, 271 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-19-509454-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Alfred Mele examines the concept of self-control on its terms, followed by an examination of its bearing on one's actions, beliefs, and emotions. He considers how, by understanding self-control, man can shed light on autonomous behaviour.Autonomous Agents addresses the related topics of self-control and individual autonomy. "Self-control" is defined as the opposite of akrasia-weakness of will. The study of self-control seeks to understand the concept of its own terms, followed by an examination of its bearing on one's actions, beliefs, emotions, and personal values. It goes on to consider how a proper understanding of self-control and its manifestations can shed light on personal autonomy and autonomous behaviour. Perspicuous, objective, and incisive throughout, Alfred Mele makes a convincing case for the value of individual autonomy.Self-controlAutonomy (Philosophy)Self-control.Autonomy (Philosophy)128/.3Mele Alfred R.1951-1530218MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778896303321Autonomous agents3775112UNINA
