La Akrasia y el principio de continencia en davidson: Una actualización de su pensamiento

this paper aims to inquire into the davidson？s conception of akrasia exposed in how is weakness of the will possible? (1966). davidson aims at theorizing about the dark problem of akrasia, which is characterized as an aristotelian conception. part of davidson？s strategy for facing the difficulties of this subject is to propose a separation of the problem from akrasia, the morality, since he argues that akrasia is a problem of the philosophy of action, not a problem of moral philosophy. in this context, davidson suggests the existence of a principle which orients the performance of rational man: the principle of continence. however, how to do that principle someone？s own remains unanswered. we will try to show, how the thought of davidson about this subject has evolved.
