Dass Willensschwäche ein Problem sein kann, weiß wohl jeder; aber warum und inwiefern ist Willensschwäche ein philosophisches Problem und was ist Willensschwäche eigentlich genau? Traditionellerweise ist Willensschwäche in der Moralphilosophie und in der Handlungstheorie diskutiert worden: Wie kann es sein, dass ich einem Moralurteil aufrichtig zustimme und doch nicht entsprechend handle, und wie kann es sein, dass ich nicht diejenige Handlungsalternative wähle, für die ich die besseren Gründe habe, sondern eine andere? Klassische Antworten auf diese Fragen stammen in der Antike von Platon und Aristoteles und in jüngerer Zeit von R. M. Hare und D. Davidson. Neben diesen vier klassischen Texten enthält der Band sechs weitere Texte aus den vergangenen 25 Jahren. Darin werden nicht nur alternative Erklärungen vorgeschlagen, sondern das Phänomen der Willensschwäche wird auch in einem größeren, über Fragen der Handlungstheorie und Moralphilosophie hinausgehenden Kontext erörtert und von anderen, verwandten Phänomenen abgegrenzt. Den Abschluss des Bandes bilden zwei Texte, in denen (nicht ganz ernst gemeinte, aber durchaus erhellende) Therapievorschläge gemacht werden

William of Ockham (d. 1347) was among the most influential and the most notorious thinkers of the late Middle Ages. In the twenty-seven questions translated in this volume, most never before published in English, he considers a host of theological and philosophical issues, including the nature of virtue and vice, the relationship between the intellect and the will, the scope of human freedom, the possibility of God's creating a better world, the role of love and hatred in practical reasoning, whether God could command someone to do wrong, and more. In answering these questions, Ockham critically engages with the ethical thought of such predecessors as Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and John Duns Scotus. Students and scholars of both philosophy and historical theology will appreciate the accessible translations and ample explanatory notes on the text.

Action, Emotion and Will was first published in 1963, when it was one of the first books to provoke serious interest in the emotions and philosophy of human action. Almost forty years on, Anthony Kenny's account of action and emotion is still essential reading for anyone interested in these topics.The first part of the book takes an historical look at the emotions in the work of Descartes, Locke and particularly Hume. In the second part, Kenny moves on to discuss some of the experimental work on the emotions by 20th Century psychologists like William James. Separate chapters cover
