What kind of knowledge does a weak-willed person have?: A
comparative study of Aristotle and the ch'eng-Chu school
Philosophy East and West 50 (2):242-253 (2000) |Abstract||This
comparative study argues that both Aristotle and the Ch'eng-Chu
School deny that a weak-willed person truly and clearly knows
what is best at the time of action, but their analyses of a
weak-willed person's knowledge are rather different. It is shown
that both Aristotle and the Ch'eng-Chu School believe that
practical knowledge presupposes repeatedly acting on it and thus
that the defect of the weak-willed person's knowledge cannot be
overcome by purely cognitive training| |Keywords||No keywords
