西方古典伦理学视角下的“伪善”:似善非善

“Hypocrisy”under the Perspective of Western Classical Ethics:Appearing Good to Oneself without Being So

伪善研究的视角在西方语境与背景下呈现出多学科化,而在具有基础性的伦理学这一视角下,伪善研究直到现代才在道德哲学家那里受到重视;并且,"伪善"这一概念也被认为至少不是一个古典哲学的术语。然而,伪善的道德内涵以及与之有关的伪善现象与问题早在古希腊时期就得到了详尽的论述,尤其是苏格拉底和柏拉图的"‘善’的虚假印象"、亚里士多德的"显得是某种善的东西"为界定伪善的道德内涵提供了具有历史厚度的学理渊源。也就是在这样的西方古典伦理学视角下,伪善的本义即"似善非善"便浮出"历史水面"。

The perspective of hypocrisy research presents multi -disciplinary under the western context and background .While under the perspective of ethics with a basic perspective , it has received？ little？ atten-tion by moral philosophers until modern times .The concept of ＂hypocrisy＂is not viewed as at least one term of classical philosophy as well .However, the moral connotation and hypocritical phenomenon , issues related of hypocrisy were described in detail as far as ancient Greece , especially , Socrates and Plato’s idea of “false impression of the good”.Aristotle’s view of “appearing a good thing while it is not” provides theoretical source which has historic thickness to define the moral connotation of hypocrisy .Thus,surfacing historically ,“appea-ring good to oneself without being so” is the literal sense of hypocrisy under the perspective of western classical ethics.
