Akrasia

Akrasia

In practical philosophy, akrasia is the action of a person who contradicts his or her best judgment about what to do in a given situation. An example is the spouse who betrays, though he considers such a wrong action. A philosophical puzzle - presented by the character Socrates in Plato's Protagoras dialogue - is precisely to explain how akrasia is possible. If the subject judges that action A is the best thing to do, how can he do anything other than A? The philosopher Donald Davidson sees the problem as reconciling the following seemingly inconsistent triad: 1. If an agent believes that A is better than B, then he wants to do A more than B. 2. If an agent wants to do more of that B, then it will do A instead of B, if it is to do one of two things. 3. Sometimes an agent acts against his better judgment. Davidson solves the problem by saying that when a person acts in this way, he temporarily believes that the worst course of action is the best because he did not make a judgment considering all things but only a judgment based on a smaller set of possible considerations . Em filosofia prática, akrasia é a ação de uma pessoa que contraria seu melhor juízo sobre o que fazer em determinada situação. Um exemplo é o cônjuge que trai, embora considere tal ação errada. Um quebra-cabeça filosófico -- apresentado pelo personagem Sócrates no diálogo Protágoras, de Platão -- é precisamente explicar como a akrasia é possível. Se o sujeito julga que a ação A é a melhor coisa a ser feita, como ele pode fazer outra coisa que não A? O filósofo Donald Davidson vê o problema como a reconciliação da seguinte tríade aparentemente inconsistente: 1. Se um agente acredita que A é melhor do que B, então ele quer fazer A mais do que B. 2. Se um agente quer fazer A mais do que B, então ele fará A ao invés de B, se for fazer uma das duas coisas. 3. Às vezes um agente age contra seu melhor juízo. Davidson resolve o problema dizendo que, quando uma pessoa age dessa maneira, ela acredita temporariamente que o pior curso de ação é o melhor, porque ela não fez um juízo considerando todas as coisas, mas apenas um juízo baseado em um conjunto menor de considerações possíveis.
