It is often rational to act against our own best interests, he argues, and most of us have moral views that are self–defeating. We often act wrongly, although we know there will be no one with serious grounds for complaint, and when we consider future generations it is very hard to avoid conclusions that most of us will find very disturbing. — ABOUT THE AUTHOR Derek Antony Parfit was born in Chengdu, China on December 11, 1942 to parents who were doctors teaching preventive medicine at Christian missions. He received a degree in modern history in 1964 from Balliol College, Oxford. While on a Harkness Fellowship at Harvard University and Columbia University after graduation, he began attending lectures on philosophy and changed course. He was elected to a prize fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, and had become a senior research fellow by 1984. He wrote several books during his lifetime including Reasons and Persons and On What Matters. In 2014, he was awarded the Rolf Schock Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy. He died on January 2, 2017 at the age of 74. — AUDIOBOOK DETAILS Purchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAEDCe187jM Language: English Publisher: Tantor Media Inc Published on: March 8, 2021 ISBN: 9798350827286 Duration: 29 hr, 19 min Genres: Philosophy / Ethics & Moral Philosophy, Philosophy / General, Philosophy / Metaphysics
