Philosophers:
Paternalism is defined as (the supposed wrong of) interfering with A's liberty for A's benefit. But what's the term for (the supposed wrong of) prematurally interfering with A's liberty for B's benefit without giving A the chance to do the right thing autonomously?
This second supposed wrong is also often referred to as paternalism (at least in German) and I think this fits well with our pre-theoretical understanding of the term but is quite different from the first usage of paternalism. So what's a better term?
