一种物理主义的道德和价值观

Physicalist Morality and Values

物理主义者不认为有超自然的道德、价值真理,但他们不是虚无主义者,他们可以持有自己的道德、价值观,可以为自己的道德、价值观作辩护,以及向他人推销自己的道德、价值观。特别地,他们可以接受自由的价值观,而且一些物理主义者相信,物理主义世界观可以为自由的、多元化等价值准则作更好的辩护。他们还可以很自然地吸收东方佛教传统中的“无我”“慈悲”等观念,提出比今天自由的价值观更理想化的、更高的价值观,满足那些认为自由的价值观还有所不足的人的需求。

Physicalists do not believe that there are supernatural morals and value truths,but they are not nihilists.They can hold and defend their own morals and values,and defend them before others.In particular,they can accept the values of freedom.Indeed,some physicalists believe that the physicalist worldview can put up a better defense of the values of freedom and pluralism.They can also very naturally absorb the concepts of“selflessness”and“compassion”from the Buddhist tradition of the East;they propose a more idealistic and higher value of freedom than that current today,satisfying the demands of those who think that the value of freedom has shortcomings.
