 One may interpret Israeli here as saying that if a man has an imperfect knowledge that it is bad to eat unhealthy candies, his knowledge and his temptation for these candies are in struggle in his soul. His capacities of consideration and cogitation (אלפכר) have to decide between this imperfect knowledge and the temptation. Once this person attains perfect knowledge, he or she no longer wishes to eat the candies. S. Sadik argues that Israeli’s remarks constitute a Socratic negation of akrasia (Sadik 2013).
