 Although an agent with a dynamic choice problem can often be described as insufficiently resolute, she is normally guided by her preferences or her evaluation of the options she faces. As such, she is not, in general, properly described as simply out of control. Still, the control she exhibits is inadequate with respect to the task of effectively governing her (temporally-extended) self. So her problem is, at least in part, a problem of effective self-governance over time. Accordingly, some work on choice over time (e.g. Velleman 2000; Bratman, 2012) includes discussion of effective self-governance over time and explores the connection between the requirements for effective self-governance over time and the requirements for rational choice over time (sometimes referred to as the requirements of diachronic rationality). Some big questions in this area include the following: To what extent does self-governance over time (or at least effective self-governance over time) require cross-temporal coherence in the form of a presumption in favor of prior intentions? To what extent does diachronic rationality require self-governance over time? And to what extent does diachronic rationality require cross-temporal coherence in the form of a presumption in favor of prior intentions. My own view is that it is ensuring the avoidance of self-defeating behavior rather than ensuring self-governance over time that is rationally required, and so diachronic rationality requires a presumption in favor of prior intentions only when this is necessary for avoiding self-defeating behavior (Andreou, 2012). But debate on this topic has not been very extensive and further exploration of the topic is certainly in order.
