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. 410 0$aValue inquiry book series ;$vv. 183. 410 0$aValue inquiry book series.$pStudies in the history of western philosophy. 606 $aAkrasia 606 $aSelf-control 606 $aWill 615 0$aAkrasia. 615 0$aSelf-control. 615 0$aWill. 676 $a170 700 $aThero$b Daniel P$01633952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824012903321 996 $aUnderstanding Moral Weakness$93973964 997 $aUNINA
