The paper examines Aristotles conception of virtue and vice focusing on the interpretations of the term akrasia as a weakness related to incomplete knowledge caused by being mislead by pleasure and failing to connect particular premises with general principles. Socratic understanding of vice and akratic actions is discussed arguing how convincing Aristotles inquiry into akrasia is.
