Manipulation

Theory and Practice

Herausgeber: Coons, Christian; Weber, Michael

Beschreibung

A great deal of scholarly attention has been paid to coercion. Less attention has been paid to what might be a more pervasive form of influence: manipulation. The essays in this volume address this relative imbalance by focusing on manipulation, examining its nature, moral status, and its significance in personal and social life.
