Spinoza’s Theory of Weakness of Will Sample Clauses

Spinoza’s Theory of Weakness of Will. In this section, I will show how Spinoza outlines, tests, and defends his own innovative, causal psychological theory by explaining weakness of will or, as he calls it, "the causes of human weakness and inconstancy" (IV P18 Scholium).28 Specifically, I show how Spinoza can explain weakness of will without relying on a concept of free will, the major resource in medieval discussions of weakness of will.29 He presents a theory based on what he understands to be the fundamental relationship between the relative motivational force of knowledge and the emotions.
