Book excerpt: "Richard Holton provides a unified account of the will, pulling together a diverse range of phenomena that have typically been treated separately: intention, resolution, choice, weakness and strength of will, temptation, addiction, and freedom of the will. Drawing on recent psychological research, he argues that rather than being the pinnacle of rationality, these components work to compensate for our inability to make and maintain sound judgments." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
