博弈问题及其伦理意蕴

The Questions of Game and Its Ethical Implications

在伦理语境中对博弈境遇的关注,并非现代博弈论出现之后才有的新进展。在诠释人类行为及其合作秩序获得的伦理学努力中,理论家们在寻求道德与自利之间和解的同时,又始终面对着实现合作秩序稳定性的理论症结。博弈境遇究竟产生了何种根本性的道德需求?作为"正义的领域",它不仅需要避免相互破坏性的冲突,也要为这种相互性的合作性实践提供一种道德供给,而合作困境也才会因为正当与善的现实契合而得以消解。

The close attention paid to the situation of game in the context of ethics is not a new development after the modern theory of game came into being. The game-structure manifests the dimensions of the conflict, the interdependence and the order. The questions manifested are also the subjects of inquiry for ethics. In the ethic endeavors of explaining human behavior and the cooperative order, theorists seek to achieve the reconciliation between morality and self-interest, but are always confronted with the theoretical problem of the stability of cooperation order. What fundamental moral requirement has the situation of game brought about？ Being the domain of justice, moral requirements not only need to avoid destructive conflicts, but also to supply fundamental moral basis for the practice of mutual cooperation, and thus the dilemma of cooperation can be resolved by the actual match between the right and the good.
