n this Hauptseminar we will be exploring Plato’s views on akrasia and its reception in the Platonic tradition, especially by Plotinus. Our exploration will begin with a close reading and discussion of several key passages in Plato’s dialogues, before moving on to equally careful readings of key passages in the later tradition. We will be discussing various versions of akrasia (synchronic, diachronic, knowledge-based, belief-based, etc.) and some views found in the secondary literature. No knowledge of Ancient Greek is required, but at times the Greek text will be discussed in a manner accessible to all.
