Question

Jennifer Foster illustrated a type of anxiety named for this Greek word with the example of a meat-eater who intentionally avoids learning about factory farming practices. This is the alphabetically first of two Greek words that name logics developed in a seminal 1962 book by Jaako Hintikka. In the Topics, Aristotle (-5[1])defined dialectical arguments as ones supported (-5[1])by (-5[1])examples of this word prefixed by “en-.” A form of this Greek word (15[1])names a type of (*) modal logic concerned with the operator “script uppercase B” and contrasted with epistemic modal logic. The binary between “what is” (10[1])and “what is not” (10[1]-5[1])is attributed to the “Way of” this Greek word in a fragmentary proem (10[1])by Parmenides, (10[1])who contrasted this Greek word with aletheia. (10[2]-5[2])For 10 points, what four-letter Greek word for popular opinion is the origin (10[1])of an English word for adherence to accepted beliefs prefixed “ortho-”? ■END■ (10[5]0[2])

ANSWER: doxa [accept dokein; accept doxastic; accept doxastic anxiety; accept doxastic logic; accept endoxa] (Hintikka’s book, Knowledge and Belief, developed doxastic and epistemic logic.)
