Abstract
Frankfurt’s 2004 book is a summation of several of the central themes of his philosophical work of the past twenty years: the idea of caring about something as central to the problem of identification, wholeheartedness and the problem of ambivalence, the relation between love, volitional necessity and freedom, and the importance of “final ends” in providing unity to what would otherwise remain inchoate or discontinuous in one’s life and will. This paper critically examines the role that unity and coherence plays in Frankfurt’s vision, and his case against ambivalence, in particular the comparison between division in the will and incoherence in one’s beliefs.
