Informationen zum Autor Linda Ethell is currently an honorary research fellow at the University of Melbourne. Klappentext The exploration of personal identity and theories of narrative in Narrative Identity and Personal Responsibility is extraordinarily suggestive, resulting in implications for theories of action as well as ethics and psychology.
