It focuses specifically on diachronic self-regarding decisions: choices involving our earlier and later selves, in which the earlier self makes a decision for the later self.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author connects the scientific understanding of the neurobehavioral processes at the core of individuals' perceptions of their future selves with the philosophical reflection on individuals' moral relationship with their future selves. She delineates a descriptive theory of the perception of the future self that is based on empirical evidence and that systematizes and integrates the current theoretical literature. She then argues for the morality of prudence and interprets diachronic self-regarding decisions as decisions between two agents- the earlier and later selves-that belong to the realm of intergenerational ethics, which regulates the relationship between contemporary people and future generations. Finally, the author provides a moral theory of prudence based on respect for one's agency. This theory identifies what the present and the future selves owe to one another in diachronic self-regarding decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoral Choices for Our Future Selves \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to scholars and students working in ethics, moral psychology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleonora Viganò\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367634937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367634933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Eleonora Viganò","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072271184127,"sku":"9780367634933","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_754910a8-50a4-46a0-9388-54a69086da8e.jpg?v=1685440959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moral-choices-for-our-future-eleonora-vigan-9780367634933","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
