Abstract

176
This paper briefly explores the connections among Socratic, Aristotelian and Stoic treatment of incontinence or weakness of the will. The core of the article is focused on the Stoic reception of Socratic ethics through Aristotle's mediation. The early Stoics took into account both certain components of Socratic ethics and Aristotle's account of action. Despite their intellectualism, the Stoics elaborate an argumentative strategy to demonstrate that it is possible to maintain that an agent is both able to make correct moral judgment and admit that such an agent is capable of acting against it.
