Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between superstition and self-governance. We argue that at least some superstitions, and perhaps many, support self-governing arrangements. The relationship between such scientifically false beliefs and private institutions is symbiotic and socially productive. This simple but overlooked observation may help explain the emergence and otherwise puzzling persistence of both superstitions and “spontaneous” orders that seem perverse or dysfunctional, as well as why these two phenomena are often found together.

迷信与自治
摘要本文探讨了迷信与自治的关系。我们认为,至少有一些迷信,也许是许多迷信,支持自治安排。这种科学上错误的信念与私人机构之间的关系是共生的,具有社会生产力。这个简单却被忽视的观察或许有助于解释迷信和看似反常或不正常的“自发”秩序的出现和令人费解的持续,以及为什么这两种现象经常同时出现。
