Synopsis

Originally published in 1990, this book deals with the question of akrasia, weakness of will, or knowing better but doing worse. Versions of this principle are presupposed by Socrates and Plato, articulated as the 'practical syllogism' in Aristotle and play a central role in modern decision theory.
