This volume is a collection of thirteen seminal essays on ethics, free will, and the philosophy of mind. The
essays deal with such central topics as freedom of the will, moral responsibility, the concept of a person, the
structure of the will, the nature of action, the constitution of the self, and the theory of personal ideals. By
focusing on the distinctive nature of human freedom, Professor Frankfurt is ale to explore fundamental problems
of what it is to be a person and of what one should care about in life.
