// and including details of the context (what level course) //
I divine by the socratic method (ha!) that this is a course on ancient greek thought. no one looks at Socrates thought otherwise. I have never seen it as "ethical intellecualism" which means it is a term from your course and most of us ( no doing that course ) will be able to contribute
Socrates though comes to us ghro Plato
so - - - having done your lecturey bits
you then select a few evil acts - america brning after Floyd would be good
look at the policemens actions and motivtions FROM the actions
and look at the protesters motivaiton and actions
other recent evil acts - lockdown and fining people = compared to curfew and shooting people
incarcerating children in interment camps who have crossed the wall
people spreading covid compared to the doctor with ebola who flew to Freetown infected and took 500 people with him ( 500 died in the outbreak he was pt zero of)
Look I am not here to write your essay for you
and then - - with your well judged examples
you draw a conclusiong
which can go either way - ignroance or feeling of doing good

There's lots of stuff about Moral Intellectualism which I assume is very similar if not the same thing.
Find a good definition or two and talk through those. Find some examples past and present as PP says and discuss those.
I am puzzled by the question as doing them out of ignorance is not the same to me as doing it for moral/ethical reasons

I hope the mods dont pull the guts out of my Trump thread - roll up contribute whilst you can - - please
Ethical Intellectualism (or Socratic Intellectualism) is the ethical view that people will do what is right or best just as soon as they truly understand what is right or best. This is based on Socrates' view that virtue is a purely intellectual matter, also a key doctrine of the Stoic school of philosophy.
hmm
well - the cities burning
and then the leaders er leading and explaining that it is not the thing to do
and they stop
and you cd contrast Brexit
and the leaders leading and explaining this is a very bad idea
and the british people voting for it anyway

// doing them out of ignorance //
er that is the pre socratic phrase
and then socrates with his q and a format asks if they really want to do that
and having had a word with the pot bellied old soul - see that they should do the oppo having been argued out of ignorance
ignorance here is lack of knowledge and expertise of the socratic method
I mean it is a way of spending your days
but it doesnt make me want to do a lot of philosophy
