Abstract

This very short chapter distinguishes between the three closely related concepts choice, decision, and resolution. In choices, we are the masters of the situation and are able to choose as we prefer. In the decision situation there is no possibility for indifference; whatever we do or refrain from doing alters our life. Finally, resolution differs from choice in that it requires deliberation, where a choice can be made in an instant.
