On Acting Rationally Against One's Best Judgment
Ethics 110 (3):488-513 (2000)
Abstract
I argue that akrasia is not always significantly irrational. To be more precise, I argue that an agent is sometimes more rational for being akratic then she would have been for being enkratic or strong-willed.Author's Profile
