In this dissertation I will be looking at whether an agent who has a weak-will and thus acts incontinently, can be held morally to blame for his (incontinent) actions. In answering this question I will draw heavily from the work of Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics, to show that a weak-willed agent has a lack of moral development, for though he possesses the knowledge of what is the better act to perform, he does not use this knowledge, and so performs the inferior action.

 

KEYWORDS: Weak-willed, incontinent, akratic, continent, Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle,
