Agency and responsibility : a common-sense moral psychology by Jeanette Kennett Published by Oxford University Press (2001)

Book description

Taking the problem of weakness of will as her starting point, Jeanette Kennett builds an admirably comprehensive and integrated account of moral agency which gives a central place to the capacity for self-control. Her account of the exercise and limits of self-control vindicates the common-sense distinction between weakness of will and complusion and so underwrites our ordinary allocations of moral responsibility.
