Description

Explore the complex relationship between preference adaptation and individual autonomy in this academic volume from Springer. Part of the Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics series, this book gathers previously unpublished articles that examine how human enhancement and end-of-life contexts affect our decision-making processes. Individual autonomy serves as a foundation for liberal societies, yet the way our options shape our preferences presents a significant philosophical challenge. This collection investigates whether allowing external circumstances to influence personal preferences threatens the very essence of autonomy. Readers will find a deep examination of how an autonomous agent must account for the conditions that limit or define their actions. This work is designed for those interested in the intersection of ethics, medical issues, and philosophy. It provides a rigorous look at how we define agency when our choices are influenced by the environments we live in, specifically within the realms of human enhancement and medical ethics.
