Akrasia and Ordinary Weakness of Will
Topicos (forthcoming)
| Abstract | In this article, I develop an Aristotelian account of akrasia as a primary failure of intentional agency in contrast to a phenomenon I refer to as ‘ordinary weakness of will’: I argue that ordinary weakness of will is best understood as a secondary failure of intentional agency, that to tackle akrasia. | |||||||||
