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 (-5[1])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 (15[1])“brutishness” in a work that defines its opposite as (*) enkrateia. (-5[1])In the Protagoras, Socrates argues (-5[1])against this concept’s possibility (10[1])by claiming (-5[1])“no one (10[1])goes (10[1])willingly after evil.” Book VII of the Nicomachean (10[1])Ethics is devoted to this concept, which Aristotle (-5[1])contrasts (-5[1])with self-control. (10[1])For (-5[1])10 points, (10[2])name this Greek-derived concept where one fails to act in (10[1])accordance with one’s best judgment. ■END■ (10[6]0[11])

ANSWER: akrasia [or incontinence; accept weakness of will; prompt on acting against one’s best judgment or similar before mention]
