Many Canadian universities have taken heed of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations to ‘Indigenize’ their curricula. The worry remains, however, that the language of reconciliation is empty rhetoric that “metaphorizes” decolonization, rather than responds to the demands of Indigenous communities for self-determination and land back. This paper aims to consider what the activity of ‘Indigenizing’ academic philosophy (and ethics more specifically) might involve. In particular, it raises the worry that the integration of Indigenous philosophy into ethics curriculum might assimilate an understanding of “grounded normativity” into settler understandings of groundless or placeless normativity. Such an assimilation would be an operation of what Cherokee philosopher Brian Yazzie Burkhart calls “settler philosophical guardianship.” For this reason, this paper contends that the work of meaningfully ‘Indigenizing’ philosophical curricula must first critically investigate an account of placeless normativity as a function of the settler colonial drive for expansion and elimination.
许多加拿大大学采纳了真相与和解委员会(Truth and Reconciliation Commission)的建议,将课程“本土化”。然而,令人担忧的是,和解的语言是空洞的修辞,“隐喻”非殖民化,而不是回应土著社区自决和收回土地的要求。本文旨在考虑“本土化”学术哲学(更具体地说是伦理学)可能涉及的活动。尤其令人担忧的是,将土著哲学纳入伦理课程可能会将对“有根据的规范性”的理解同化为定居者对无根据或无地点的规范性的理解。这种同化将是切罗基哲学家布莱恩·亚兹·伯克哈特所说的“定居者哲学监护”的一种操作。出于这个原因,本文认为,有意义地“本土化”哲学课程的工作必须首先批判性地调查无地规范性作为殖民者殖民扩张和消除动力的功能。

Introduction Given the influential way in which he imported the classic metaphysical theme of “the One and the Many” into moral and political philosophy, Isaiah Berlin has been recognized as the father of contemporary “value pluralism.” But Berlin is not without his precursors – most famously, Max Weber, with his 1919 lecture “Politics as a Vocation.” William James has also been counted among them. As Joshua Cherniss and Henry Hardy write in their encyclopedia entry on Berlin, for example: “Ethical pluralism first emerged under that name . . . in America, inspired by William James’s pluralistic view of the universe.” And indeed, for some time now, many have identified James as a pluralist – not least James himself. But in some respects, his position is much more ambiguous than Berlin’s. For example, a close look at the title of his A Pluralistic Universe should prepare us for the fact that, while the book rejects various monisms (in particular, those from Socrates through to absolute idealism), it also makes clearly non-pluralistic claims such as that “we still have a coherent world . . . Our ‘multiverse’ still makes a ‘universe’.” Indeed, while I wouldn’t go as far as Robert B. Talisse for whom James is “anti-pluralist,” I will argue that James is both pluralist and monist. In fact, it is my contention that neither James nor Berlin is a pluralist tout court.
以赛亚·伯林将经典的形而上学主题“一与众”引入道德和政治哲学,影响深远,因此被公认为当代“价值多元主义”之父。但柏林并非没有他的先驱者——最著名的是马克斯·韦伯,他在1919年发表了题为《政治作为一种职业》的演讲。威廉·詹姆斯也在其中。例如,约书亚·切尼斯(Joshua Cherniss)和亨利·哈代(Henry Hardy)在他们关于柏林的百科全书条目中写道:“伦理多元化最初是以这个名字出现的……在美国,受威廉·詹姆斯的多元宇宙观启发。”事实上,一段时间以来,许多人认为詹姆斯是一个多元主义者——尤其是詹姆斯本人。但在某些方面,他的立场比柏林的模棱两可得多。例如,仔细看一下他的《多元宇宙》的标题,我们就会发现,虽然这本书拒绝了各种各样的一元论(特别是从苏格拉底到绝对唯心主义的一元论),但它也明确地提出了非多元主义的主张,比如“我们仍然有一个连贯的世界……”我们的‘多元宇宙’仍然构成了一个‘宇宙’。”事实上,虽然我不会像罗伯特·b·塔利斯(Robert B. Talisse)那样认为詹姆斯是“反多元主义者”,但我认为詹姆斯既是多元主义者又是一元论者。事实上,我的观点是,詹姆斯和伯林都不是多元主义者。
