What IS the Problem of Akrasia?

'opening up a whole can of interconnected worms...'

Gregory Sadler at Practical Rationality.

"what precisely is the 'problem of akrasia'? — that’s what has to be asked, examined, and answered, before we can say whether Aristotle does or doesn’t effectively formulate it, mainly in Nicomachean Ethics book 7, let alone overcome it."

See Aristotle, Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volumes 8-9, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volumes 7-8.
