Socialism and Freedom 社会主义与自由
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.4324/9780203212806-21

ABSTRACT:Socialism has long been thought by many to be the enemy of freedom. Here, I argue that in order to understand the relationship between socialism and freedom, we must have a better idea both of what socialism is and of what it is to have a right to freedom. To start, I argue that the right to freedom is best understood as a right to direct one’s own will in the world consistently with the rights of others to do the same. This Kantian conception of the right to freedom is importantly different from the ubiquitous conception of freedom as negative liberty: with this Kantian conception, one’s right to freedom is limited to directing one’s own will and does not include a right to direct the wills of others. I then argue that socialism, like the right to freedom, is often misunderstood: today, socialists often argue for robustly democratic forms of socialism that are far from the autocratic so-called “socialist” regimes of the last century. With a better understanding of both socialism and the right to freedom, we can see that the right to freedom is indeed compatible with a robustly democratic form of socialism.
摘要:长期以来,社会主义一直被许多人认为是自由的敌人。在这里,我认为,为了理解社会主义和自由之间的关系,我们必须更好地了解社会主义是什么,以及什么是拥有自由的权利。首先,我认为,自由的权利最好被理解为一种在世界上与他人的权利一致地指导自己意志的权利。康德关于自由权利的概念与普遍存在的消极自由的自由概念有重要的不同:在康德的概念中,一个人的自由权利仅限于指导自己的意志,而不包括指导他人意志的权利。然后,我认为社会主义,就像自由的权利一样,经常被误解:今天,社会主义者经常主张强有力的民主形式的社会主义,与上世纪专制的所谓“社会主义”政权相去甚远。通过更好地理解社会主义和自由权利,我们可以看到,自由权利确实与强大的民主形式的社会主义兼容。

Socialist Action 社会主义行动
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202048224
G. Wollner
ABSTRACT:This paper offers a new version of a historically influential, yet today unpopular, neglected, and on the whole insufficiently developed argument for socialism: socialism makes it possible for people to really act together. This idea of socialist action, combining the claims that there is a particularly valuable form of joint action and that socialism is about making such action possible, played an important role in the history of the labor movement, going back to the early Marx and running through various strands of socialist thought. I shall argue that socialist action should be seen as central to the socialist project, its critique of capitalism, and the institutional alternatives envisaged by it.
摘要:本文提出了一个具有历史影响力、但在今天却不受欢迎、被忽视且总体上发展不够充分的社会主义论点的新版本:社会主义使人们有可能真正共同行动。这种社会主义行动的观点,结合了联合行动的特别有价值的形式以及社会主义是关于使这种行动成为可能的主张,在劳工运动的历史上发挥了重要作用,可以追溯到早期的马克思并贯穿于各种社会主义思想中。我将论证社会主义行动应该被视为社会主义计划的核心,它对资本主义的批判,以及它所设想的制度选择。

Liberal Socialism Is Not Stable for the Right Reasons 自由社会主义不稳定的原因是正确的
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202048222
Kevin Vallier
ABSTRACT:This essay provides an internal critique of John Rawls’s case for liberal socialism. A liberal socialist regime combines liberal rights with public ownership of the means of production. The state deliberately manages capital to promote both economic and moral ends. I argue that liberal socialism cannot satisfy Rawls’s own criterion for a well-ordered and legitimate regime: stability for the right reasons. Liberal socialism cannot be stable much as reasonable comprehensive doctrines cannot. Reasonable comprehensive doctrines impose detailed patterns of conduct on citizens in ways they can reasonably reject. Liberal socialism imposes similarly invasive and complex directives through what I shall call reasonable economic plans: multifaceted directives for the ownership and operation of capital that satisfy Rawls’s justice as fairness. Consequently, imposing any reasonable economic plan will destabilize the regime. For this reason, liberal socialism cannot serve as an ideal regime type for Rawlsian egalitarians.
摘要:本文对罗尔斯的自由社会主义理论进行了内部批判。自由的社会主义政权将自由权利与生产资料公有制结合起来。国家有意管理资本,以促进经济和道德两方面的目的。我认为,自由社会主义不能满足罗尔斯对秩序良好和合法政权的标准:有正当理由的稳定。自由社会主义不可能像合理的综合理论一样稳定。合理的综合理论以公民可以合理拒绝的方式,将详细的行为模式强加于公民。自由社会主义通过我称之为合理的经济计划,施加了类似的侵入性和复杂的指令:对资本的所有权和运作的多方面指令,满足罗尔斯作为公平的正义。因此,实施任何合理的经济计划都会动摇政权。因此,自由社会主义不能作为罗尔斯式平等主义者的理想政体类型。

Alienation, Freedom, and Dignity 异化、自由和尊严
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202048215
Pablo Gilabert
ABSTRACT:The topic of alienation has fallen out of fashion in social and political philosophy. It used to be salient, especially in socialist thought and in debates about labor practices in capitalism. Although the lack of identification of people with their working lives—their alienation as workers—remains practically important, normative engagement with it has been set back by at least four objections. They concern the problems of essentialist views, a mishandling of the distinction between the good and the right, the danger of paternalistic impositions, and the significance of democratic authorization. This paper recasts the critique of alienation in a way that vindicates its importance for social and political philosophy and rebuts these objections. First, it provides an analytic framework to understand alienation—distinguishing its various conceptual, explanatory, and normative dimensions. Second, it accounts for the normative aspect of the critique of alienation by articulating it in terms of prudential and moral ideas of positive freedom regarding human flourishing and Solidaristic Empowerment. Finally, the normative account is developed further, and sharpened to respond to the four objections, through the introduction of the Dignitarian Approach—the view that we have reason to organize social life in such a way that we respond appropriately to the valuable features of individual human beings that give rise to their dignity.
摘要:异化问题在社会哲学和政治哲学中已经失宠。它曾经很突出,特别是在社会主义思想和关于资本主义劳动实践的辩论中。尽管人们对他们的工作生活缺乏认同——他们作为工人的异化——实际上仍然很重要,但与之规范的接触已经被至少四个反对意见所阻碍。它们涉及本质主义观点的问题,对善与右之间区别的错误处理,家长式强加的危险,以及民主授权的重要性。本文以一种证明异化对社会和政治哲学重要性的方式对异化的批判进行了重塑,并反驳了这些反对意见。首先,它提供了一个理解异化的分析框架——区分其不同的概念、解释和规范维度。其次,它解释了异化批判的规范方面,通过对人类繁荣和团结授权的积极自由的审慎和道德观念来阐明它。最后,规范性解释得到进一步发展,并通过引入尊严主义方法来回应这四种反对意见。尊严主义方法认为,我们有理由以这样一种方式组织社会生活,即我们有理由以适当的方式回应个体的有价值的特征,从而提高他们的尊严。

Socializing the Means of Free Development 社会化是自由发展的手段
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202048216
C. Gould
ABSTRACT:This paper investigates the import for a conception of democratic socialism of Marx’s well-known principle “From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs,” arguing that it is best taken together with another of his principles: “The free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.” It considers their implications for the near term rather than some possible ultimate form of communal society, and also brings in a principle that I have developed previously—equal positive freedom—which in some ways synthesizes the other two. In analyzing the abilities and needs principle, the notion and extent of needs are explicated, seeing them as including not only material needs, but needs for recognition and for relationships. Marx’s crucial insight that distribution largely depends on the organization of the production process also comes into play. On these bases, the paper proposes that a system of democratically managed firms forms the centerpiece for democratic socialism, supplemented by some other institutions that would work to meet basic needs. The paper also proposes a role for the norms of reciprocity and solidarity, in addition to those of freedom and equality that are most evident in the three principles. Finally, the relative inattention to social reproduction in the early Marxist tradition is addressed with an interpretation of the notion of socializing care and a consideration of its import for institutional design, including cooperative ways of providing such care. Throughout, Marx’s distinctive notions of social individuality, socialized wealth, and the free development of individuals are appealed to for the guidance they can provide for interpreting the abilities/needs principle for the period ahead.
摘要:本文探讨了马克思著名的“各尽所能,按需分配”原则对民主社会主义概念的意义,认为这条原则最好与马克思的另一条原则“每个人的自由发展是一切人自由发展的条件”结合起来看。它考虑的是它们在短期内的含义,而不是某种可能的最终形式的公共社会,它还引入了我之前提出的一个原则——平等的积极自由——它在某种程度上综合了其他两个原则。在分析能力和需求原则时,需要的概念和范围得到了阐明,认为它们不仅包括物质需求,还包括对认可和关系的需求。马克思关于分配在很大程度上取决于生产过程的组织的关键见解也开始发挥作用。在此基础上,本文提出,民主管理的企业体系构成了民主社会主义的核心,并辅以其他一些能够满足基本需求的制度。除了三个原则中最明显的自由和平等之外,本文还提出了互惠和团结规范的作用。最后,对早期马克思主义传统中对社会再生产的相对忽视,通过对社会化护理概念的解释,以及对其对制度设计的重要性的考虑,包括提供这种护理的合作方式,来解决。贯穿全文,马克思关于社会个性、社会财富和个人自由发展的独特概念为解释未来一段时期的能力/需求原则提供了指导。

What Is Economic Liberty? 什么是经济自由?
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.4135/9781483300634.n107
Tom O’Shea
ABSTRACT:Economic liberty is best understood in opposition to economic domination. This article develops a radical republican conception of such domination. In particular, I argue that radical republicanism provides a more satisfactory account of individual economic freedom than the market-friendly liberties of working, transacting, holding, and using championed by Nickel and Tomasi. So too, it avoids the pitfalls of other conceptions of economic liberty which emphasize real freedom, alternatives to immiserating work, or unalienated labor. The resulting theory holds that economic domination occurs when someone’s access to civic capabilities is contingent on the arbitrary economic power of others. Socialist institutions—suitably configured—can deliver on this individual economic freedom, allowing the dominating power of proprietors, shareholders, landlords, and managers to be kept in check, and providing an unconditional minimum that allows individual citizens to be less beholden to others in meeting many of their most fundamental civic needs. Thus, I conclude that socialism can be championed as a politics of individual economic liberty.
摘要:经济自由是与经济支配相对立的。本文对这种统治提出了一种激进的共和观念。特别是,我认为激进共和主义提供了一个更令人满意的个人经济自由的解释,而不是尼克尔和托马西所倡导的工作、交易、持有和使用的市场友好型自由。因此,它也避免了其他经济自由概念的陷阱,这些概念强调真正的自由,替代痛苦的工作或非异化的劳动。由此产生的理论认为,当某人获得公民能力取决于他人武断的经济权力时,就会出现经济支配。社会主义制度——适当配置——可以实现这种个人经济自由,允许业主、股东、房东和管理者的支配权力受到制约,并提供无条件的最低限度,使公民个人在满足许多最基本的公民需求时,不必受制于他人。因此,我得出结论,社会主义可以作为一种个人经济自由的政治来捍卫。

What’s Wrong with Equality of Opportunity 机会均等怎么了
Pub Date : 2022-03-16 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202048221
C. Sypnowich
ABSTRACT:How do we know if people are equal? Contemporary philosophers consider a number of issues when determining if the goals of egalitarian distributive justice have been achieved: defining the metric of equality; determining whether the goal is equality, or simply priority or sufficiency; establishing whether there should be conditions, e.g. bad brute luck, for the amelioration of inequality. In all this, most egalitarians contend that what is to be equalized is not people’s actual shares of the good in question, but rather, the opportunities to have such shares. I counter this view with an ‘egalitarian flourishing’ approach that, in seeking to make people equal in actual well-being, takes exception to the role of opportunity in contemporary argument. The flourishing view means a focus on outcomes, on how people live, in order to enable people to live equally flourishing lives. I argue that if we consider the complex dynamics of choice and circumstance, the role of nonmaterial considerations and the ideal of an egalitarian community, equality of opportunity proves to be an inadequate approach to the realization of the egalitarian ideal.
摘要:我们如何知道人们是否平等?当代哲学家在确定平等主义分配正义的目标是否已经实现时考虑了一些问题:定义平等的度量标准;确定目标是平等,还是仅仅是优先或充足;确定是否应该有条件来改善不平等,例如运气不好。在所有这一切中,大多数平等主义者认为,要平等的不是人们对所讨论的商品的实际份额,而是拥有这种份额的机会。我用一种“平等主义繁荣”的方法来反驳这种观点,这种方法在寻求使人们在实际幸福中平等的同时,对机会在当代争论中的作用提出了异议。繁荣观意味着关注结果,关注人们如何生活,以使人们过上同样繁荣的生活。我认为,如果我们考虑到选择和环境的复杂动态,非物质因素的作用以及平等主义社会的理想,机会平等被证明是实现平等主义理想的一种不充分的方法。

Subjective Experience in Explanations of Animal PTSD Behavior 主观经验对动物PTSD行为的解释
Pub Date : 2021-11-11 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics20204818
K. Hoffman
ABSTRACT:Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition in which the experience of a traumatic event causes a series of psychiatric and behavioral symptoms such as hypervigilance, insomnia, irritability, aggression, constricted affect, and self-destructive behavior. This paper investigates two case studies to argue that the experience of PTSD is not restricted to humans alone; we have good epistemic reason to hold that some animals can experience genuine PTSD, given our current and best clinical understanding of the disorder in humans. I will use this evidence to argue for two claims. First, because the causal structure of PTSD plausibly requires reference to a traumatic conscious experience in order to explain subsequent behaviors, the fact that animals can have PTSD provides new evidence for animal consciousness. Second, the discovery of PTSD in animals puts pressure on accounts which hold that animal behavior can be fully explained without reference to subjective experience.
摘要:创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)是一种心理健康状况,其表现为创伤性事件经历引起的一系列精神和行为症状,如过度警觉、失眠、易怒、攻击、情感收缩和自毁行为。本文调查了两个案例研究,以证明创伤后应激障碍的经历并不局限于人类;我们有充分的认知理由认为,一些动物可以经历真正的创伤后应激障碍,鉴于我们目前对人类疾病的最佳临床理解。我将用这些证据来论证两个观点。首先,因为创伤后应激障碍的因果结构似乎需要参考创伤性意识经历来解释随后的行为,动物可能患有创伤后应激障碍的事实为动物意识提供了新的证据。其次,在动物身上发现创伤后应激障碍给那些认为动物行为可以在不参考主观经验的情况下完全解释的说法带来了压力。

ABSTRACT:This paper addresses what we consider to be the most pressing challenge for the emerging science of consciousness: the measurement problem of consciousness. That is, by what methods can we determine the presence of and properties of consciousness? Most methods are currently developed through evaluation of the presence of consciousness in humans and here we argue that there are particular problems in application of these methods to nonhuman cases—what we call the indicator validity problem and the extrapolation problem. The first is a problem with the application of indicators developed using the differences between conscious and unconscious processing in humans to the identification of other conscious vs. nonconscious organisms or systems. The second is a problem in extrapolating any indicators developed in humans or other organisms to artificial systems. However, while pressing ethical concerns add urgency to the attribution of consciousness and its attendant moral status to nonhuman animals and intelligent machines, we cannot wait for certainty and we advocate the use of a precautionary principle to avoid causing unintentional harm. We also intend that the considerations and limitations discussed in this paper can be used to further analyze and refine the methods of consciousness science with the hope that one day we may be able to solve the measurement problem of consciousness.
摘要:本文讨论了新兴的意识科学面临的最紧迫的挑战:意识的测量问题。也就是说,我们可以通过什么方法来确定意识的存在和性质?目前,大多数方法都是通过评估人类意识的存在而发展起来的,在这里,我们认为在将这些方法应用于非人类案例时存在一些特殊的问题——我们称之为指标有效性问题和外推问题。第一个问题是利用人类有意识和无意识处理之间的差异开发的指标应用于识别其他有意识与无意识生物体或系统的问题。第二个问题是将在人类或其他生物体中产生的任何指标外推到人工系统中的问题。然而,虽然迫切的伦理问题增加了意识的归属以及随之而来的非人类动物和智能机器的道德地位的紧迫性,但我们不能等待确定性,我们主张使用预防原则来避免造成无意的伤害。我们还打算利用本文讨论的考虑和局限性,进一步分析和完善意识科学的方法,希望有一天我们能够解决意识的测量问题。
