摘要
基于道德形而上学和美德认识论,斯密和休谟认为,道德评价的最佳视角是作为一个客观的旁观者。为了解释道德真理,我们需要采用这种旁观者的评价视角,在道德判断过程中把道德优点和认知优点分离开来。为了更加有效地进行道德评价或提供道德规范,道德构建主义的主张更加深思熟虑,并优先于评价者的视角。
Recent interest in moral constructivism has led to the adoption of a view that the perspective from which moral facts emerge is that of the deliberator. This is seen as a semi-historical development-the move from philosophers David Hume and Adam Adam Smith, to that of Kant. The Key to understanding this move is under-standing the a corrective mechanism＂ employed by sentimentalists-such as Hume and Adam Smith-in their development of moral theory. In this paper I will explore the Adam Smithian alternative, contrasting it to the Humean.
