Hardcover. Repression receives little attention in philosophical literature. This study of cases of repression that inhibit an agent's deliberative access to his reasons argues that an agent cannot correctly deliberate about a reason to overcome repression as if he did so, he would already have overcome repression and so would have no reason to do so.

Hardcover. Eighteenth-century philosophy owes much to the early novel. Using the figure of the romance reader this book tells a new story of eighteenth-century reading. The impressionable mind and mutable identity of the romance reader haunt eighteenth-century definitions of the self, and the seductions of fiction insist on making an appearance in philosophy. Series: Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and the Cultures of Print. Num Pages: 231 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 2AB; DSBD; DSK; HPCD.
