Akrasia and Elegy

Dove e quando

2021-12-02 | Aula Meridiana, via Balbi 5

Odi et amo: hating and loving simultaneously is just one of many instances in Roman love poetry of a ʻweakness of willʼ known in ancient ethics as akrasia. This contribution presents some preliminary research towards a view that Latin elegy offers a philosophically inflected meditation on this issue, and more broadly on the degree to which the individual is in charge of their emotions, decisions and, ultimately, their destiny.
