Interpretation On Aristotle's “Weakness Of Will”

"Weakness of will" shows that "know what should do but don't" or "know what shouldn't do but do".Aristotle discusses the problem of "Weakness of will" in more detail in Nicomachean Ethics.He makes Socrates' epistemology more clearly differentiated,and points out clearly that the problem of "Weakness of will" exists in agent's behavior,and thinks that why the weakness of will comes into being is not due to ignorance,but compromise to desire made by the human soul.After a certain amount of time and space process,agent will change the original idea.Thus,the phenomena of "know what should do but don't" come into being.Therefore,the way to solve the weakness of will is to cultivate agent's virtue,in order to ensure agent's character lasting and stable and looking forward to the ultimate good.Aristotle gives sufficient divinity to virtue,and thinks agent can make perfect virtue and keep the best state through the ways such as education,cultivating good habits,which can make agent achieve the most perfect and ultimate good.The concrete practice of virtue,that is moral conduct,is discussed in his ethics and politics works,Made virtue and moral conduct complementary to each other,so as to make knowing and doing full consistent and unified.Aristotle's related discussion on the weakness of will is the embodiment of the ancient Greek rationalism tradition,which has had a profound impact on.German classical philosophy inherits and carries forward the tradition.Kant and Hegel hold the theory of the rational will from the perspective of rationalism,and Schopenhauer and Nietzsche's irrationalism also highlight the irrational factors of the will,which not only make the theory of traditional will richer,but provide a new way of solving the problem of "weakness of will"...
