[pt] A AKRASIA ANTIGA E A FRAQUEZA DE VONTADE CONTEMPORÂNEA / [en] ANCIENT AKRASIA AND CONTEMPORARY WEAKNESS OF WILL

MATHEUS DIAS BASTOS 27 October 2020 (has links)
[pt] A tese pretende examinar a akrasia antiga e a fraqueza de vontade contemporânea. O problema da fraqueza de vontade (weakness of will) contemporânea tem suas raízes no fenômeno denominado de akrasia desde a Ética a Nicômaco de Aristóteles. Tradicionalmente, a história da filosofia retrata a continuidade de um mesmo problema filosófico essencial. A investigação inicial da fraqueza de vontade contemporânea em Richard. M. Hare e Donald Davidson estabelece a retomada do debate da akrasia antiga presente em Platão e Aristóteles. No entanto, há uma distinção fundamental entre ambos os fenômenos: enquanto a fraqueza de vontade reflete apenas à ação contrária ao melhor juízo do agente, a akrasia se refere à submissão da razão aos impulsos irracionais. A minha presente tese estabelece que há dois problemas distintos: o problema antigo da akrasia diante do conhecimento moral e o problema contemporâneo da ação irracional contra o melhor juízo do agente. De fato, a recepção analítica da akrasia antiga marca o restabelecimento da fraqueza de vontade contemporânea a partir das obras de Hare e Davidson. Meu plano de investigação analisa a relação intrínseca entre a akrasia antiga e a fraqueza de vontade contemporânea. Assim, a tese se divide em duas partes. Na primeira parte, examino o conflito interno da akrasia antiga e o estatuto do conhecimento moral em Platão e na Ética de Aristóteles. Na segunda parte, a recepção da akrasia antiga nas obras de Hare e Davidson esclarece a emergência da formulação original da fraqueza de vontade contemporânea em torno do conflito prático da ação irracional contra o melhor juízo. / [en] This thesis aims at examining ancient akrasia and contemporary weakness of will. The contemporary problem of weakness of will is rooted on the phenomenon called akrasia since Aristotle s Ethics. Traditionally, the history of philosophy depicts the continuity of the same essential philosophical problem. The initial inquiry on contemporary weakness of will in Richard M. Hare and Donald Davidson renewed the ancient akrasia debate as presented in Plato and Aristotle. Nevertheless, there is a fundamental distinction between both phenomena: while weakness of will reflects only action contrary to better judgement, akrasia refers to submission of reason to irrational impulses. My present thesis aims at establishing that there are two distinct philosophical problems: the ancient problem of akrasia in the face of moral knowledge and the contemporary problem of irrational action against better judgment. Indeed, analytic reception of ancient akrasia in Plato and Aristotle marks the reestablishment of contemporary weakness of will on the works of Hare and Davidson. My research plan examines the underlying relation between ancient akrasia and contemporary weakness of will. Therefore, the thesis is divided in two parts. In the first part, I look into ancient akrasia s internal conflict and the status of moral knowledge in Plato and Aristotle s Ethics. In the second part, reception of ancient akrasia in the works of Hare and Davidson informs the emergence of the original formulation of contemporary weakness of will on practical conflict of irrational action against better judgement.
