Among the many practical failures that threaten us, weakness of
will or akrasia is often considered to be a paradigm of
irrationality. The eleven new essays in this collection, written by
an excellent international team of philosophers, some
well-established, some younger scholars, give a rich overview of
the current debate over weakness of will and practical
irrationality more generally. Issues covered include classical
questions such as the distinction between weakness and compulsion,
the connection between evaluative judgement and motivation, the
role of emotions in akrasia, rational agency, and the existence of
the will. The also include new topics, such as group akrasia,
strength of will, the nature of correct choice, the structure of
decision theory, the temporality of prudential reasons, and
emotional rationality. Because these questions cut across
philosophy of mind and ethics, the collection will be essential
reading for scholars, postgraduates, and upper-level undergraduates
in both these fields.
