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.
