Question
Note to players: Either an original-language term or its common English translation is acceptable. The example of a college student named Sam who thinks he should become a hermit is used to defend a “rational” form of this concept in a Nomy Arpaly paper. Huckleberry Finn’s refusal to reveal Jim’s location to Miss Watson is often used as an example of this concept’s “inverse” form. Moral principles shouldn’t be treated as universalized conditionals but rather as relational, prima facie judgments according to a Donald Davidson paper titled for this concept. This concept is paired with “vice” and “brutishness” in a work that defines its opposite as (*) enkrateia. In the Protagoras, Socrates argues against this concept’s possibility by claiming “no one goes willingly after evil.” Book VII of the Nicomachean Ethics is devoted to this concept, which Aristotle contrasts with self-control. For 10 points, name this Greek-derived concept where one fails to act in accordance with one’s best judgment. ■END■
