Elucidations · Episode 130: Jessica Tizzard discusses weakness of the will · 22 Nov 2020 podcast

So the thought is, can I use imbibing as a means to this moral end of socializing?

Or am I sort of transgressing against a duty to myself to sort of be temperate and not misuse my capacity for eating and drinking in a way that is harmful to me?

Where is the limit on this kind of case?

I think it's not knowing that leads to problems.

Yeah.

So I think in talking about the sort of traditional case of weakness of will, a big part of what takes center stage is what philosophers would call the phenomenology of the experience.

So it's how it feels to me.

It's this thought that...

I'm in a lot of pain because I recognize that there's a real tension here, right?

I think that I should do something.

Maybe I think I shouldn't go to the party, but then I go anyway.

I think Kant's trying to understand how is it just possible for this puzzle to manifest itself to us?

He's not thinking so much about what it feels like in certain cases.

And so the kind of framework I set up with the party case where there's sort of two conflicting imperfect duties, I think this is an important part of the framework that maybe has to be in play for it to be identifiable as a case where moral weakness is going to apply for Kant.

But then I think there's various ways for this framework to sort of play itself out for the agent.

And so, yeah, I think there is room for one way of realizing this framework to be in the traditional case with the sort of the phenomenology or the feels like of, right, I'm torn and I'm pained at being torn.

So, you know, we could imagine, yeah, the person is sort of dealing with these conflicting duties, but...

She just feels a strong desire to go to the party.

And she does.

And, you know, she gets swept up in things and sort of is overindulging, enjoying the company, you know, sort of just doing what people do at parties.
