人性、文化传统与道德理论的合理性——美国后分析道德理论争论述评

Human Nature, Cultural Tradition and the Rationality of Moral Theories A discussion on the American post analytical arguments over moral theories

究竟有没有一种作为道德基础的不变的人的本性？道德理论有没有一种建立在人性基础上的惟一的客观性和合理性？我们应当如何看待和说明我们的道德理论和辩护方式的多样性和合理性？这些问题是后现代道德理论争论的焦点，是有着重大的现实理论和实践意义的课题。本文以美国后分析道德哲学的发展、争论为线索。

Is there a permanent human nature as the foundation of morality? Is there a moral theory uniquely objective and rational based on human nature? How should we regard and explain the diversity and rationality of our moral theories and their defensive modes? These questions are the focus of the American post-analytical argument over moral theories. They are questions of great significance both in theory and in practice. The present paper is a preliminary study on the history and development of the American post-analytical philosophy.
