Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frankfurt's theory distinguishes between first-order desires and second-order volitions. A willing addict, according to Frankfurt, may have a first-order desire to take the drug but also has a second-order volition that aligns with this desire, indicating a level of endorsement of their first-order desire. This suggests that the willing addict can be responsible for taking the drug because their action aligns with their reflective endorsement or second-order volition.
