| Summary: | In this article, I present and analyze Dietrich von Hildebrand's explanation of how acting against one's better knowledge is possible. I do so by comparing it to Plato's analysis of the same problem. By this comparison, I seek to show the specificity of von Hildebrand's approach to the phenomenon which, since Aristotle's time, has been known as "akrasia". |
