Abstract

The artist and analytic Kant scholar Adrian Piper has been aptly described as “one of the most important and influential cultural figures of our time. The award-winning work of installation and participatory performance art, Probable Trust Registry: Rules of the Game #1-3, implicitly poses philosophical questions of interest to contractarian philosophy and its critique, including whether through an art installation one can execute a genuine, morally binding commitment to be honest, authentic, and respectful of oneself. Especially for audiences who closely identify with her experiences, Piper’s artwork, like that of other important artists, has powerfully catalytic ethical potential. Motivated by admiration for the artist and a perceived conflictual relationship between women of color and conventional discourses of moral solidarity, I offer three different ways to understand Piper’s Probable Trust Registry. I suggest that Piper’s thought-provoking artwork, which implicitly nods at John Rawls and Charles Mills, can be interpreted as asking its audiences to agree to selections from a menu of rules that, in the alternative, embrace universal moral imperatives, predict future moral integrity, or vow moral integrity.

诚信誓言
艺术家、分析康德的学者阿德里安·派珀(Adrian Piper)被恰如其分地描述为“我们这个时代最重要、最有影响力的文化人物之一”。获奖的装置和参与式行为艺术作品《可能的信任登记:游戏规则#1-3》隐含地提出了对契约主义哲学及其批判感兴趣的哲学问题,包括通过艺术装置,一个人是否可以执行一个真实的、道德约束的承诺,成为诚实、真实和尊重自己的人。特别是对于那些与她的经历密切相关的观众来说,派珀的作品和其他重要艺术家的作品一样,具有强大的伦理催化潜力。出于对这位艺术家的钦佩,以及有色人种女性与传统道德团结话语之间的冲突关系,我提供了三种不同的方式来理解派珀的“可能信任登记处”。我认为,派珀这一引人深思的艺术作品,含蓄地向约翰·罗尔斯(John Rawls)和查尔斯·米尔斯(Charles Mills)致敬,可以被理解为要求观众同意从一系列规则中做出选择,这些规则要么包含普遍的道德要求,要么预测未来的道德诚信,要么承诺道德诚信。
