330   $aThis book considers the common human predicament that we often choose an action other than the one we perceive to be best. Philosophers know this problem as akrasia . The author develops a nuanced understanding of the nature and causes of akrasia by integrating the best insights of Socrates, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, and several contemporary philosophers.
