对普特南“厚伦理概念”反驳的思考

On Refutation of Putnam’s“Thick Ethical Concepts”

“厚伦理概念”是普特南在伦理观层面用以论证“事实”与“价值”相缠结的核心概念。这种理论提出后,有一部分学者提出了不同意见,但这些对普特南观点的反驳都存在着某种程度上的缺憾和不足。不论是“还原法”、“声明法”,抑或是“相对法”都不能从根本上消解“事实”与“价值”在“厚伦理概念”中的缠结。对这些观点的反驳有助于进一步论证“厚伦理概念”作为不可拆分和还原的整体性概念而存在的客观性和必要性,从而在将“价值”从纯主观、非理性的桎梏中解救出来以恢复其合理性的同时,也为以伦理价值为鹄的学科留下宝贵的生存和发展空间。

“Thick ethical concept”is Putnam’s core concept to demonstrate the entanglement of facts and values at the ethical level.After this theory was put forward,some scholars put forward different opinions,but these refutations to Putnam’s view have some shortcomings and deficiencies to some extent.However,whether it is“reductionism”,“making statements”,or“relativism”,it cannot fundamentally eliminate the entanglement between facts and values in the“thick ethical concept”.The refutation of these views will help to further demonstrate the objectivity and necessity of“thick ethical concept”as an inseparable and reducible holistic concept,so as to leave valuable space for the survival and development of disciplines with ethical value as the research object.
