Is Akrasia nothing more than a semantic problem for Socrates?

Wraxtior, Good to have you back! Regarding your Question, I believe in the "human condition" there is a innate quality in us for the "common good" probably because of our instinct for survival and preservation of our species. However, The Ying and Yang, light and darkness are all parts that are necessary in order to keep balance in everything. "It is contras that gives significance to Essence" The fact that we have free will can leads us in a negative path. I believe that "doing the right thing" is what is inherently in us as human beings,it will Not always be the case, and rightfully so....... Take care, Hector

Well, Socrates past away some time ago, so your question should be "Was akrasia a problem..."

Aside from that, I believe that it very possibly was. Looking at it, it's only logical that you say it was a semantic problem for him, because Socrates was not a dumb man. He must have just either had difficulty understanding this, or like you said, he could of just refused to accept that sometimes, people act without intent, whether virtuous or not, or in their best interest.

My favourite charges are all through musicians given that I think they ship throughout a well message: 'Hey women, you are lovely. Whether you are a measurement 32 or a measurement 18. As lengthy as you are a well character. As lengthy as you admire others and your self. Don't concentrate to these type magazines. Hey women, you are lovely.' "Be your self , do not take anyones sh*t and not ever allow them to take you alive." "You're going to encounter plenty of sh*tty bands, and plenty of sh*tty individuals. And if someone of the ones individuals name you names given that of what you appear like, or given that they do not take delivery of you for who you're. I desire you to appear proper at that motherf**ker, stick up your center finger, and scream 'F*** YOU!'” “If for one minute you consider you are greater than a 16 yr historic woman in a Green Day t-blouse, you're sorely incorrect. Remember the primary time you went to a exhibit and noticed your favourite band. You wore their blouse, and sang each phrase. You did not understand whatever approximately scene politics, haircuts, or what used to be cool. All you knew used to be that this track made you believe exclusive from someone you shared a locker with. Someone eventually understood you. This is what track is approximately.” "We're ill of listening to individuals say "that band is so homosexual" or "the ones men are fags". Gay isn't a synonym for sh*tty. If you desire to mention some thing's sh*tty, say it is sh*tty. Stop being such homophobic a$$holes!" "I haven't any endurance for the ones forms that forget about their artwork: the ones celebrities who disregard what they’re meant to be celebrated for and emerge as simply going to eating places and Hollywood events – that’s crap. If you’re going to make artwork you desire to be happy with, you’ve received to care approximately making it." "A lot of paths were not paved whilst I used to be younger. Instead, now that I have helped pave that course, I'll get in my automobile and force down it. Even if my automobile is not as large as one of the crucial different vehicles flying through, it is nonetheless candy to cruise at the freeway." "Sometimes you could have simply gotta devour sh*t and keep within the recreation."
