Incontinence (philosophy)
Incontinence ("a want of continence or self-restraint") is often used by philosophers to translate the Greek term Akrasia (ἀκρασία). Used to refer to a lacking in moderation or self-control, especially related to sexual desire,〔dictionary.com – (incontinence )〕 incontinence may also be called wantonness.
==Aristotle==
Aristotle devoted book VII of the Nicomachean Ethics to the discussion of continence and incontinence, having previously linked the latter both to prodigality in its effects, and to those dominated by irrational feeling in its failure to obey knowledge of the good:〔J. A. K. Thompson trans, ''The Ethics of Aristotle'' (1976) pp. 142, 66, and 89〕 a case of knowing virtue, but not having habituated it to control passion.
Aristotle considered one could be incontinent with respect to money or temper or glory, but that its core relation was to bodily enjoyment.〔Thompson, p. 235-9〕 Its causes could be weakness of will, or an impetuous refusal to think.〔Thompson, p. 244〕 At the same time, he did not consider it a vice, because it is not so much a product of moral choice, but instead, a failure to act on one's better knowledge.〔Thompson, p. 244-6〕
