SUMMARY:“Two Theories of Self-Control\," Guest Lecture by Bob Pasnau (CU 
 Boulder)
DESCRIPTION:When Thomas Hobbes\, in the middle of the 17th century\, reluct
 antly took up the problem of free will in his exchange with Bramhall\, he 
 blamed medieval scholastic philosophy for having fatally obscured the true
  nature of the problem. In a way\, he is very much correct\, because the m
 edieval approach to the problem exemplifies the understanding of self-cont
 rol that Hobbes seeks to reject: the idea that we control ourselves becaus
 e we have a will that can exercise second-order control over our volitions
 . Hobbes’s approach\, however\, is hardly new. Indeed\, its clearest sta
 tement goes back to Augustine\, at the start of the Middle Ages. On the Au
 gustinian approach\, our volitions are self-reflexively under their own co
 ntrol\, with no need and no possibility of securing any sort of higher-lev
 el control.
