SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates the debate about the existence of akrasia. In the first chapter, we present an analysis of Donald Davidson's classic text, How is weakness of the will possible? (1970). The same path as the author was followed to understand the changes that brought the issue to the fore in the middle of the 20th century. The second chapter presents a group of post-Davidson authors who debated the possibility of akrasia. Starting with the denial of skepticism and ending with the increase in new perspectives (desires, self-control, etc.) to the traditional debate. In the third chapter, a concise debate between Davidson and George Ainsle about the relationship of akrasia with picoeconomics is presented. This thesis has an investigative character, aiming to defend the naturalness of the akratic movements.
