A
Matter
of
Choice
represents
a
substantive
discussion
of
the
concept
of
choice
in
human
affairs,
taken
against
the
backdrop
of
ethics
and
religion.
Drawing
on
a
range
of
contributions,
Hodgkiss
demonstrates
in
this
study
that,
though
often
not
the
primary
issue
under
consideration,
a
concern
with
choice
has
featured
continually
in
human
thought
from
the
Hellenistic
world
of
the
Stoics
to
the
post-Kantian
environment
of
modern
philosophy.
Moreover,
he
argues
that
the
social
and
historical
dimension
of
choice
has
been
consistently
underplayed,
and
that
the
role
of
choice
in
modern
economic
and
political
developments
is
underestimated
at
our
peril.
Through
a
critical
account
of
the
literature,
Hodgkiss
adeptly
diagnoses
the
insufficiency
of
the
current
conception
of
the
choice-making
sovereign
individual
in
the
contemporary
liberal-democratic
capitalist
context
and
outlines
the
implications
of
this
philosophy
for
the choice-maker.
