It is often assumed that we always desire the good. But, what about when we indulge in what we know is bad for us, e.g. a cigar or fourth doughnut? Are we viewing those things as good? Can we act against our better judgment? We will address these questions and more. Our task will be to focus on the phenomenon of weakness of will by reading Plato, Aristotle, and contemporary literature on irrationality paradoxes.
