Weakness of Will in Renaissance and Reformation Thought
Saarinen, Risto (University of Helsinki)
The question of why people act against their better judgment has always been prominent in philosophy.

He shows how the understanding of human conduct and free will changed in this formative period between medieval times and modernity.
