Description

Why do we struggle to reach our goals? Procrastination is often the main reason for failure, yet it remains a misunderstood phenomenon. While often labeled as irrational or even immoral, there has lacked a sustained philosophical debate on the subject until now. This edited volume from Oxford University Press integrates the problem of procrastination into serious philosophical inquiry. By examining the topic through the lenses of agency, rationality, and ethics, this book provides a deep look at why we delay tasks and what that says about our decision-making processes. Designed for readers interested in psychology and philosophical schools of thought, the text offers both theoretical and empirically informed analyses. It moves beyond simple productivity tips to address the fundamental questions of how procrastination relates to human agency and moral character. This collection is a necessary resource for anyone looking to understand the deeper connections between our actions and our intentions.
