Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Through insightful interpretations of the action theories propounded by Aristotle, Anselm, Aquinas, Scotus, and Suárez, this book demonstrates the philosophical and theological importance of negligent omissions and constructs a model by which the problem of their voluntariness can be solved.
MoreLong description:
Negligent omissions, cases in which an agent unintentionally forgets to fulfill an obligation, are philosophically problematic. They are problematic because they are considered blameworthy despite the fact that the conditions for voluntariness often appear unfulfilled. In an attempt to explain how they may be voluntary, this book delves into the action theories of Aristotle, Anselm, Aquinas, Scotus, and Suárez. In doing so, not only is the philosophical (and theological) importance of negligent omissions demonstrated via new and insightful interpretations, but a complex model for explaining the voluntariness of negligent omissions is constructed. The result is an original solution to the problem of negligent omissions that demonstrates the utility of appealing to historical approaches to solve contemporary philosophical and theological problems.
?As an original work of philosophy, the book is a provocative study filled with careful precisions, helpful insights, clever responses to objections, and, most valuably, plausible conclusions.? M.V. Dougherty, Ohio Dominican University in American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly, Winter 2012 (86-1), 161-163
