Answer to Question #256239 in Philosophy for Maricel

Question

Does it follow that when one knows what is right he also does what is right?

Answer 1

Socrates states, "to realize the great is to the acceptable" and he connects information with righteousness to show that individuals can't act in an incorrect manner realizing that it is off-base, however (as per Socrates) "they … do [(I mean) they perform] imagining that they [their actions] are acceptable in some way."It is the possibility that we know the moral worth of good and bad by paying attention to our inner voice. That still, little voice inside is the thing that lets us know whether something is correct or wrong.
