He considers how, by understanding self-control, man can shed light on autonomous behaviour. 330 $bAutonomous 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. 606 $aSelf-control 606 $aAutonomy (Philosophy) 615 0$aSelf-control. 615 0$aAutonomy (Philosophy) 676 $a128/.3 700 $aMele$b Alfred R.$f1951-$01530218 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778896303321 996 $aAutonomous agents$93775112 997 $aUNINA
