Dan Egonsson

Preference and Information (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Standard preferentialist theories allege that a person's preferences and their satisfaction are the correct measure of well-being. In this book, Egonsson presents a critical analysis of the "full-information account of the good," which claims that only the satisfaction of rational and fully informed preferences has value for a person.
