About this product
Product Information
Although the idea of hindsight is frequently associated with the biases, distortions, and outright lies of memory-as in the infamous 20-20 scenario or the conviction that one knew it all along -Mark Freeman maintains that this process of looking backward over the terrain of the past can also serve as a profound source of insight, understanding, and self-kwledge. Consider Tolstoy's harrowing tale of Ivan Ilych, revisiting his past on the eve of his death, only to realize that the life he had been living was a lie. Consider as well the many times in our own lives when, upon reviewing the past, we are able to see what we could t, or would t, see earlier on. Hindsight is also intimately connected to what Freeman calls narrative reflection: Through the distance conferred by time, we can look back on past experiences and see them anew, as episodes in an evolving story. As important as being in the w and living in the moment are, it is less important to pause at times and, by looking backward, seek to discern those aspects of experience that might otherwise escape our tice. Far from necessarily leading to deception and lies, therefore, hindsight can lead to wisdom and indeed truth-of a sort, Freeman contends, is only available in retrospect. In addition to serving as a central site of self-kwledge, hindsight plays an integral role in the process of moral growth. For, through hindsight, there emerges the opportunity t only to see the possible errors of our ways but to transcend them and thereby to move on to better ways of being in the world. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, literature, and personal experience, this wide-ranging volume offers an insightful and engaging exploration of the role of hindsight both in discerning the personal past and in deepening moral life.

Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++
