520 _aThe recourse to medication in order to enhance our moral will is displays an exemplary case wherein our will to succeed drives our will to face its physiological limits. Insofar as our choices result, among other factors, from the relative rates of neurotransmitters present in our brain, absorbing certain chemical substances can help us to “improve our will”, i.e., to choose what we would not spontaneously choose, but that we ought to choose if our (subjective) desire could align itself with our (objective) interest. This pharmaceutical brand of moralizing intends to short-circuit our spontaneous will in order to impose such an alignment through the irresistible force of chemistry.
