Moral Intellectualism
Fleeting- External reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_intellectualism
For Socrates (469–399 BC), intellectualism is the view that “one will do what is right or best just as soon as one truly understands what is right or best”; that virtue is a purely intellectual matter, since virtue and knowledge are cerebral relatives, which a person accrues and improves with dedication to reason.[3][4] So defined, Socratic intellectualism became a key philosophic doctrine of Stoicism.[5] The Stoics are well known for their teaching that the good is to be identified with virtue.[5]
apparent, problematic consequences of this view are “Socratic paradoxes”, such as the view that there is no weakness of will (that no one knowingly does, or knowingly seeks to do, what is morally wrong)
