This volume contains fourteen contributions to the topic of
weakness of will in medieval philosophy. It fills an important gap in current
research by presenting Aristotelian and non-Aristotelian medieval accounts of
akrasia , many of which have not yet been the object of scholarly writing. They
are not only of great intrinsic philosophical interest; they also eminently
document the transformation of ethical thought in the Middle Ages. Weakness of
will is a test case for a wider range of problems in moral psychology and
ethical theory. The articles collected in this volume give insight into a
variety of accounts of practical rationality that were directly or indirectly
influential on modern thinkers. The temporal framework of the volume exceeds the
Middle Ages on both ends by including Aristotle and authors from the Renaissance
and the Reformation.
