• Sommario/riassunto: Richard Holton presents an original account of intention, choice, weakness of will, strength of will, temptation, addiction, and freedom of the will. He argues that, rather than being the pinnacle of rationality, the central components of the will are there to compensate for our inability to make or maintain sound judgments.
