Hume, Newton and ‘the Hill called Difficulty’ 休谟,牛顿和"困难山"
Pub Date : 1978-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600002570
C. Battersby
In a celebrated passage in ‘Of the Standard of Taste’, Hume tells us that those readers who prefer Bunyan's writings to Addison's are merely ‘pretended critics’ whose judgment is ‘absurd and ridiculous’; this is ‘no less an extravagance, than if he had maintained a mole-hill to be as high as TENERIFFE, or a pond as extensive as the ocean’ (GG, iii, p. 269). Hume shows a decisiveness and vehemence in his judgment against Bunyan that has greater significance than that of being a mere reflection of his aesthetic principles. Hume does, after all, wish to make ‘durable admiration’ the foundation of his standard of taste, and both the number of eighteenth-century reprints of The Pilgrim's Progress and Johnson's comment that this work has as ‘the best evidence of its merit, the general and continued approbation of mankind’ testify to the lasting popularity of Bunyan's work (GG, iii, p. 27i). Hume's critical judgment on Bunyan is not merely a consequence of a mechanical application of his standard of taste, but is rather a reflection of what I will term Hume's ‘epistemology of ease’.
在《品味标准》的一段著名段落中,休谟告诉我们,那些喜欢班扬作品而不喜欢艾迪生作品的读者只是“假装的批评家”,他们的判断是“荒谬可笑的”;这“就像他把一座鼹鼠丘建得和特纳里夫一样高,或者把一个池塘建得和海洋一样宽一样”(GG, iii, p. 269)。休谟在对班扬的批判中表现出一种果断和激烈,这比仅仅反映他的美学原则具有更大的意义。毕竟,休谟确实希望将“持久的钦佩”作为他品味标准的基础,18世纪《天路历程》的再版数量和约翰逊的评论都证明了班扬的作品是“其优点的最佳证据,是人类普遍和持续的认可”(GG, iii, p. 27i)。休谟对班扬的批判判断不仅仅是机械地应用他的品味标准的结果,而是我称之为休谟的“安逸认识论”的反映。

The Empiricism of Locke and Newton 洛克和牛顿的经验主义
Pub Date : 1978-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600002569
G. Rogers
The relationship between John Locke and Isaac Newton, his co-founder of, in the apt phrase of one recent writer, ‘the Moderate Enlightenment’ of the eighteenth century, has many dimensions. There is their friendship, which began only after each had written his major work, and which had its stormy interlude. There is the difficult question of their mutual impact. In what ways did each draw intellectually on the other? That there was some debt of each to the other is almost certain, but its exact extent is problematic. Questions may be asked over a whole range of intellectual issues, but not always answered. Thus their theology, which was in many respects close, and which forms the bulk of their surviving correspondence, may yet reveal mutual influence. There is the question of their political views, where both were firmly Whig. But it is upon their philosophy, and certain aspects of their philosophy in particular, that this paper will concentrate. My main theme is the nature of their empiricism, and my main contention is that between them they produced a powerful and comprehensive philosophy.
约翰·洛克和艾萨克·牛顿之间的关系是多方面的,牛顿是他的联合创始人,用最近一位作家的恰当说法是18世纪的“温和启蒙运动”。他们的友谊是在各自完成了自己的主要作品之后才开始的,并经历了一段风雨飘忽的间歇期。它们的相互影响是一个难题。他们在哪些方面互相借鉴?几乎可以肯定的是,双方都欠了对方一些债务,但债务的具体程度是有问题的。可能会对一系列智力问题提出问题,但并不总是得到回答。因此,他们的神学,这是在许多方面接近,并形成了他们的大部分幸存的通信,可能还显示相互影响。他们的政治观点存在问题,两人都坚定地支持辉格党。但本文将集中讨论他们的哲学,特别是他们哲学的某些方面。我的主要主题是他们的经验主义的本质,我的主要论点是他们之间产生了一种强大而全面的哲学。

On Having a Reason 论有理由
Pub Date : 1977-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600000480
S. Hampshire
The prescription that lays down how one ought to reason in moral matters is normally supported by a more general account of reasoning, which suggests limits upon what can be counted as reasoning of any kind, whether practical or theoretical. If, for example, one accepts, or presupposes, a Cartesian theory of reasoning, the normal case of reasoning is apt to be represented as conscious and explicit inference from one more or less clear idea to another in a set of distinguishable steps. The distinguishable steps are the feature that I wish to stress now. Given this Cartesian account, the normal case of rational deliberation before decision will also be represented as more or less explicit inference from one idea, or proposition, to another in successive, distinct steps.
规定一个人应该如何在道德问题上进行推理的规定通常是由一种更一般的推理来支持的,这种推理表明了任何类型的推理的限制,无论是实践的还是理论的。例如,如果一个人接受或预设了笛卡尔的推理理论,那么推理的正常情况就容易被表现为有意识的和明确的推理,从一个或多或少清晰的概念到另一个在一组可区分的步骤中。可区分的步骤是我现在要强调的特点。根据这种笛卡尔式的解释,在做出决定之前进行理性思考的正常情况,也将表现为或多或少从一个想法或命题到另一个连续的、不同的步骤的明确推断。

Conjugal Faithfulness 夫妻之间的忠诚
Pub Date : 1977-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600000479
Conjugal Faithfulness, P. M. Hutchings
‘Faithfulness’ is defined in The Oxford English Dictionary of 1901 in a way that leaves out what one might take as a central paradigm. The OED entry reads, in part Faithfulness … the quality of being faithful. A. Fidelity, loyalty (to a superior or friend) … B. Strict adherence to one's pledged word; honesty, sincerity. … The feudal system, the army, and the rest of such things are provided for in (A) ‘loyalty to a superior …’, and so are friends – after superiors. In (B), commercial interests are satisfactorily covered: ‘strict adherence to one's pledged word, honesty. …’ It is a nice piece of social history: from William the Conqueror to the latter phases of the Industrial Revolution, in two definitions. But a very odd piece of social history, in that conjugal faithfulness, the most existential one that there is, does not rate a mention.
1901年的《牛津英语词典》(Oxford English Dictionary)中对“信实”(Faithfulness)的定义省略了人们可能认为是核心范式的内容。《牛津英语词典》的部分词条是这样解释的:忠诚,忠诚的品质。忠诚,忠诚(对上级或朋友);诚实,真诚。封建制度、军队和其他诸如此类的东西在(A)“对上级的忠诚”中有规定,在上级之后的朋友也是如此。在(B)中,商业利益得到了令人满意的涵盖:“严格遵守承诺,诚实。”这是一部很好的社会史:从征服者威廉到工业革命的后期,有两种定义。但是社会历史上有一段很奇怪的事,那就是夫妻的忠诚,最存在的忠诚,却没有被提及。

‘Irresistible Impulse’ and Moral Responsibility “不可抗拒的冲动”和道德责任
Pub Date : 1977-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600000492
S. K. Zaw
Should the insane and the mentally ill be held morally responsible for their actions? To answer ‘No’ to this question is to classify the mentally abnormal as not fully human: and indeed legal tradition has generally oscillated between assimilating the insane to brutes and assimilating them to children below the age of discretion, neither of these two categories being accountable in law for what they do. In what respect relevant to moral responsibility were the insane held to resemble brutes and children? In the case of brutes, the answer seems to have been that the doings of the insane appeared to lack whatever it is that marks out human actions as distinctively human. What the insane did could not be thought of as issuing from deliberation, or as capable of having issued from deliberation, but seemed rather to be the result of the unbridled operation of nature — if a diseased nature. The natural comparison with insane killings seemed to be, for example, the killing of birds by cats. This distinction between animal doings and human actions does not depend on Cartesian views about the workings of animals; the operation of nature need not be thought of as mechanical. The thought is simply that where there is no room for deliberation there is no room for moral appraisal. Children, on the other hand, though capable of distinctively human action — i.e. of deliberating about what they do — were held not to be capable of the relevant kind of deliberation: for they were held ‘not to know the difference between right and wrong’.
精神病人和精神病患者应该为他们的行为承担道德责任吗?对这个问题回答“不”就是把精神不正常的人归类为不完全的人:事实上,法律传统通常在把疯子同化为禽兽和把他们同化为未成年儿童之间摇摆不定,这两类人在法律上都不对他们的行为负责。在与道德责任相关的哪些方面,人们认为精神失常的人与野兽和儿童相似?以野兽为例,答案似乎是,疯子的行为似乎缺乏人类行为的特征。疯子的所作所为不能被认为是深思熟虑的结果,也不能被认为是深思熟虑的结果,而似乎是自然肆无忌惮的作用的结果——如果是一种病态的自然。与疯狂的杀戮相比较的自然似乎是,例如,猫捕杀鸟类。动物行为和人类行为之间的区别并不依赖于笛卡尔关于动物行为的观点;大自然的运作不必被认为是机械的。这个想法很简单,没有深思熟虑的空间,就没有道德评价的空间。另一方面,儿童虽然有能力做出人类特有的行为——也就是思考他们所做的事情——但却被认为没有能力进行相关的思考:因为他们被认为“不知道对与错的区别”。

Unreasonable Care: the establishment of selfhood 不合理的关怀:自我的建立
Pub Date : 1977-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600000443
E. Newson
Out of my normal context, and separated from my usual reference groups, perhaps I need first of all to explain the background from which I speak. As a developmental psychologist whose main research interests are to do with child rearing in the various social environments in which it takes place, I have been particularly concerned with the long-term dialogues (verbal and non-verbal) that go on between parents and children, in the course of which they commonly come to certain understandings about their mutual tolerances and intolerances, and learn to live together with some regard to these limits. I stress the intersubjective nature of these understandings because I take it as axiomatic that children bring up their parents in the course of parents bringing up their children, even though parents are more powerful in physical terms and marginally more powerful in psychological terms. Secondly, as a child psychologist working clinically with parents and handicapped or problem children, I am also interested in another kind of dialogue: that which takes place between parents and professionals with the child as focus. I am concerned to find ways of making this dialogue as effective as possible, in particular by recognising the differences that inform parental and professional approaches to our common focus, and then using these differences to enable a complementary partnership that builds upon the advantages of each.
脱离了我的正常语境,脱离了我通常的参考群体,也许我首先需要解释一下我说话的背景。作为一名发展心理学家,我的主要研究兴趣是在不同的社会环境中养育孩子,我特别关注父母和孩子之间的长期对话(语言和非语言),在这个过程中,他们通常会对彼此的容忍和不容忍有一定的理解,并学会在这些限制的情况下共同生活。我强调这些理解的主体间性,因为我认为这是不言自明的,在父母抚养孩子的过程中,孩子抚养他们的父母,尽管父母在身体上更强大,在心理上更强大。其次,作为一名儿童心理学家,我在临床工作中与父母和残疾儿童或问题儿童打交道,我对另一种对话也很感兴趣:以孩子为焦点的父母和专业人士之间的对话。我关心的是找到使这种对话尽可能有效的方法,特别是通过认识到父母和专业人员在我们共同关注的问题上的差异,然后利用这些差异,在各自优势的基础上建立互补的伙伴关系。

Educating the Imagination 培养想象力
Pub Date : 1977-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/S0080443600000467
M. Warnock
My topic may seem a bizarre mixture of epistemology and value theory; and perhaps it is best to acknowledge this oddity at once. I should also, perhaps, confess that such a mixture has always seemed something to aspire to. Any philosopher who has made it seem that feeling strongly about something, valuing it highly, is an inevitable consequence of the nature of human understanding, that from the facts of knowledge or perception one can derive the inescapable facts of emotion or desire, any such philosopher has always deeply appealed to me. I am therefore a confessed perpetrator of the naturalistic fallacy. Indeed I go further, and say that I love the fallacy. So Spinoza, Hume (however much people say that he first discovered naturalism to be fallacious) and Sartre all seem to me to be real philosophers, on the grounds that for them this connexion between knowing and wanting seemed inevitable. My aim is to illustrate this kind of connexion by suggesting that the human imagination is such that we ought to value it and respect it more highly than anything else; and that therefore, if it can be educated and improved, it is to this education that we should give priority, if we are concerned with education at all. It may seem on the face of it absurd to say that we ought to value any particular human faculty or capacity. It may be thought that this is not the kind of object or evaluation with which at any rate philosophers should be concerned. But the fact is, of course, that we do value very highly indeed all kinds of capacities that we have, such as sight, and hearing and understanding. And being unashamedly naturalistic, I have no hesitation in saying not only that we do value them, but that we ought to; they are, in every sense, valuable.
我的话题似乎是认识论和价值论的奇怪混合体;也许最好马上承认这种奇怪的现象。或许,我也应该承认,这种混合似乎一直是我所渴望的。任何哲学家,只要他认为对某事物有强烈的感觉,对它有很高的评价,是人类理解的本质的必然结果,从知识或感知的事实中,人们可以推导出不可避免的情感或欲望的事实,任何这样的哲学家都深深吸引着我。因此,我承认自己犯了自然主义谬误。事实上,我更进一步说,我喜欢这个谬论。因此,在我看来,斯宾诺莎、休谟(尽管很多人说休谟首先发现自然主义是谬误的)和萨特都是真正的哲学家,因为对他们来说,知道和想要之间的这种联系似乎是不可避免的。我的目的是为了说明这种联系,我认为人类的想象力就是这样,我们应该比其他任何东西都更重视和尊重它;因此,如果它可以被教育和改善,我们应该优先考虑这种教育,如果我们关心教育的话。从表面上看,说我们应该重视任何特定的人类才能或能力似乎是荒谬的。人们可能会认为,这无论如何都不是哲学家应该关注的对象或评价。但事实是,当然,我们确实非常重视我们所拥有的各种能力,比如视觉,听觉和理解能力。作为一名毫不羞耻的自然主义者,我毫不犹豫地说,我们不仅珍视它们,而且应该珍视它们;从任何意义上说,它们都是有价值的。

Warnock","doi":"10.1017/S0080443600000467","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0080443600000467","url":null,"abstract":"My topic may seem a bizarre mixture of epistemology and value theory; and perhaps it is best to acknowledge this oddity at once. I should also, perhaps, confess that such a mixture has always seemed something to aspire to. Any philosopher who has made it seem that feeling strongly about something, valuing it highly, is an inevitable consequence of the nature of human understanding, that from the facts of knowledge or perception one can derive the inescapable facts of emotion or desire, any such philosopher has always deeply appealed to me. I am therefore a confessed perpetrator of the naturalistic fallacy. Indeed I go further, and say that I love the fallacy. So Spinoza, Hume (however much people say that he first discovered naturalism to be fallacious) and Sartre all seem to me to be real philosophers, on the grounds that for them this connexion between knowing and wanting seemed inevitable. My aim is to illustrate this kind of connexion by suggesting that the human imagination is such that we ought to value it and respect it more highly than anything else; and that therefore, if it can be educated and improved, it is to this education that we should give priority, if we are concerned with education at all. It may seem on the face of it absurd to say that we ought to value any particular human faculty or capacity. It may be thought that this is not the kind of object or evaluation with which at any rate philosophers should be concerned. But the fact is, of course, that we do value very highly indeed all kinds of capacities that we have, such as sight, and hearing and understanding. And being unashamedly naturalistic, I have no hesitation in saying not only that we do value them, but that we ought to; they are, in every sense, valuable.","PeriodicalId":322312,"journal":{"name":"Royal Institute of Philosophy Lectures","volume":"555 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116268056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
