PrepTest 110 - Section 2 - Question 6

Show analysis

Conclusion The notion that one might be justified in behaving irrationally in the service of a sufficiently worthy end is incoherent. ███ ██ ████ ██ ██████ ██ ██████████ ████ ███ █████ ██ ████████ ███████████ ███ █████████████

Method of Reasoning

The author says that the idea someone might be justified in acting irrationally towards a worthy goal doesn’t make sense. The author argues that it is impossible for someone to be justified in acting irrationally — because when an action is justified, it is rational. Being justified and irrational at the same time is impossible.
