Right.
So it could be that that reflective clarity doesn't come until later, right?
So maybe in the example you're talking about now, you know, I think I am not obligated to intervene in this situation, right?
I'm not acting badly and failing to help this person.
But then later I'll realize I sort of made that judgment on the basis of my fear and that it wasn't a good reason to make that judgment.
I had no real ground to think.
I was just motivated by my fear.
And so I exhibited weakness there.
And yeah, so once I achieve clarity, I'll regret what I did and see that it was weak, as you said.
Yeah, I don't.
I haven't been asked that question before.
I think it doesn't seem obvious to me that there needs to be some kind of temporal limit.
I would say that it's important for Kant to think of this as a moral phenomenon.
So weakness doesn't extend to sort of prudential failures where I think, you know, I would have been happier if I had gone to law school because I would have made more money or I would have had a more stable job or would have made it easy, you know.
So if those are the kinds of considerations, the kinds of considerations that factor into my happiness, am I able to meet the desires that I have?
That's not an example of the kind of weakness that he's talking about and that I work on and that we're here to talk about today.
So I think it's important to recognize that, yeah, for Kant, it is a moral phenomenon.
Even if it doesn't have temporal limits, it does have some kind of limit.
that.
Right.
