A provocative challenge to our everyday understanding of human behavior Reveals our lack of reflection and self-awareness Offers a new way to make sense of ourselves as moral Richly informed by psychological research Lively and witty—a pleasure to read The unconscious, according to contemporary psychology, determines much of our lives: very often, we dont know why we do what we do, or even exactly what we are doing. This realization undermines the philosophical and common sensepicture of human beings as rational, responsible, agents whose behavior is ordered by their deliberations and decisions. Drawing on the latest scientific psychology and philosophical ethics, Talking to Our Selves develops a philosophically viable theory of agency and moral responsibility that fully accounts for the unsettling challenges posed by the sciences of mind.
