AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Challenging, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity, Parfit claims that we have a false view about our own nature. It is often rational to act against our own best interests, he argues, and most of us have moral views that are self-defeating. We often act wrongly, although we know there will be no one with serious grounds for complaint, and when we consider future generations it is very hard to avoid conclusions that most of us will find very disturbing.Parfit, Derek is the author of 'Reasons and Persons', published 1986 under ISBN 9780198249085 and ISBN 019824908X.
