On Habit

Summary

What is habit? Do habits turn us into machines or free us to do more creative things? Should religious faith be habitual? Does habit help or hinder the practice of philosophy? Why do Luther, Spinoza, Kant, Kierkegaard and Bergson all criticise habit? In this thought-provoking book Clare Carlisle examines habit from a philosophical standpoint.
