Ulysses Unbound: Studies in Rationality, Precommitment, and Constraints

Jon Elster
4.9/5 (34049 ratings)
Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:This provocative book argues that, very often, people may benefit from being constrained in their options or from being ignorant. The three long essays that constitute this book revise and expand the ideas developed in Jon Elster's classic study Ulysses and the Sirens. It is not simply a new edition of the earlier book though; many of the issues merely touched on before are explored here in much more detail. Elster shows how seemingly disparate examples that limit freedom of action reveal similar patterns, so much so that he proposes a new field of study: constraint theory. The book is written in Elster's characteristically vivid style and will interest professionals and students in philosophy, political science, psychology, and economics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
