A growing number of authors argue that states which are responsible for global temperature rise owe reparative obligations to offer asylum to climate refugees because their decisions have led to the severe harms which climate refugees suffer. The validity and significance of reparative obligations as ideal moral requirements notwithstanding, this paper argues that, in practice, relying on causal responsibility to determine who is owed asylum is likely to produce morally objectionable outcomes. This problem results from a specific attribution problem, namely, the probabilistic reasoning and inherent uncertainties involved in establishing causal responsibility within the complex causal scenario of climate-related refugee movements. Because of this attribution problem, determining who is owed asylum is likely to be both under- and over-inclusive. Both under- and over-inclusion lead to unjustified deprivations of basic rights for some climate refugees.

越来越多的作者认为,对全球气温上升负有责任的国家有赔偿义务为气候难民提供庇护,因为他们的决定导致了气候难民所遭受的严重伤害。尽管赔偿义务作为理想的道德要求具有有效性和重要性,但本文认为,在实践中,依靠因果责任来决定谁应该得到庇护,很可能会产生道德上令人反感的结果。这一问题源于一个具体的归因问题,即在与气候相关的难民流动的复杂因果情景中确定因果责任所涉及的概率推理和内在不确定性。由于这一归因问题,在确定谁应得到庇护时,很可能会出现包容不足和包容过度的情况。包容不足和包容过度都会导致不合理地剥夺一些气候难民的基本权利。

The conceptual structure of perjury 伪证罪的概念结构

Alison Douglis argues that perjury is nothing more than a tool to facilitate court proceedings, conceptually distinct from lying. Instead, I argue that the conceptual structure of perjury and of lying match almost perfectly. Apparent mismatches do not arise as a property of perjury but as a consequence of the juridical context. I present an overview of some of the recent philosophical work on lies with focus on the problem of ‘what is said’ and pragmatic enrichment. I also discuss the question of whether false implicatures should be regarded as lies, the intent to deceive condition on lying, and the falsity of the statement as a condition on lying. I then turn to perjury and show that the same philosophical problems that lies give rise to are reproduced almost point by point. I show that the oath condition and the materiality condition on perjury, which would seem to provide an empirical distinction, are in fact rooted in our understanding of lies. Against Jennifer Keiser and Douglis, I argue that a cross-examination is in fact a form of conversation in Grice’s sense.

艾莉森-多格里斯(Alison Douglis)认为,伪证不过是为法庭诉讼提供便利的工具,在概念上有别于说谎。相反,我认为伪证与说谎的概念结构几乎完全吻合。表面上的不匹配并不是伪证的属性,而是司法语境的结果。我概述了近期关于谎言的一些哲学研究,重点是 "说了什么 "和实用主义丰富性问题。我还讨论了虚假暗示是否应被视为谎言的问题、谎言的欺骗意图条件以及作为谎言条件的陈述的虚假性。然后,我转向伪证问题,并表明谎言所引发的哲学问题几乎逐点重现。我表明,宣誓条件和伪证的实质性条件看似提供了一种经验上的区别,实际上却根植于我们对谎言的理解。针对詹妮弗-凯泽和道格里斯的观点,我认为交叉询问实际上是格莱斯意义上的一种对话形式。

Recourse, Litigation, and the Rule of Law 申诉、诉讼和法治

Recent high-profile lawsuits have supported competing narratives that alternately depict civil litigation as an essential instrument of the rule of law and a threat to the ideal. This essay argues that each narrative captures an important element of truth and that Gerald Postema’s account of the rule of law in his book Law’s Rule helps us (albeit unwittingly) to see why. While Postema presents recourse for alleged abuses of power as a universal and enduring facet of the rule of law, his conception of recourse turns out to resemble core features of the kind of adversarial litigation process exemplified by the U.S. federal civil justice system. Yet such a system both promises to promote and threatens to undermine each of the three principles that Postema claims are entailed by his understanding of the rule of law—namely, sovereignty, equality, and fidelity. Realizing recourse thus requires confronting difficult tradeoffs within each of those principles, as well as within the overarching rule-of-law ideal. And if the rule of law can’t be instantiated unequivocally in any particular set of institutions, then perhaps we should be more willing to treat the ideal as a subject of politics rather than just a constraint on it.

近期备受瞩目的诉讼支持了相互竞争的说法,这些说法将民事诉讼描述为法治的重要工具和对法治理想的威胁。本文认为,每种说法都抓住了一个重要的事实要素,杰拉尔德-波斯特马(Gerald Postema)在其著作《法律的规则》(Law's Rule)中对法治的描述有助于我们(尽管是在不知不觉中)了解其中的原因。虽然波斯特马将对涉嫌滥用权力的追索权作为法治的一个普遍而持久的方面,但他的追索权概念却与美国联邦民事司法制度所体现的那种对抗性诉讼程序的核心特征相似。然而,这样一种制度既有望促进波斯特马所声称的法治所包含的三项原则--即主权、平等和忠实--的每项原则,又有可能破坏这三项原则。因此,要实现追索权,就必须在上述每项原则以及总体法治理想中进行艰难的权衡。如果法治不能明确地体现在任何特定的制度中,那么也许我们应该更愿意将这一理想视为政治的主体,而不仅仅是政治的约束。

Keeping Hohfeld Simple 保持霍菲尔德的简洁性

In this paper, I want to engage in, and move forward, a heated contemporary debate over certain normative positions within the well-known Hohfeldian table of legal relations – a table of dramatic explanatory power. After outlining the uncontroversial core of the table, I will leave the realm of uncontroversiality to enter the realm of controversy. I will enter, and stake out a stance in, a debate over the no-right position. Upon introduction of no-rights, a splinter occurs. There are two positions one might take on no-rights, which I call the Strict Hohfeldian and the Dual. My paper offers decisive reason to favour the latter. Lest there be any doubt – arising from the paper’s chief focus on no-rights – the conclusion is one of great philosophical significance: by the paper’s end, we will, if only at the high level of abstraction at which this paper is pitched, have a complete understanding of Hohfeld’s table.

在本文中,我希望参与并推动当代关于众所周知的霍菲尔德法律关系表--一个具有巨大解释力的表格--中某些规范性立场的激烈辩论。在概述了该表无争议的核心内容之后,我将离开无争议的领域,进入有争议的领域。我将进入关于无权利立场的争论,并在争论中表明立场。无权利一经提出,就出现了分裂。在无权利问题上有两种立场,我称之为严格霍菲尔德主义和双重主义。我的论文提供了支持后者的决定性理由。为了避免任何疑问--因为本文主要关注的是无权利--本文的结论是一个具有重大哲学意义的结论:在本文结束时,我们将对霍菲尔德的表格有一个完整的理解,哪怕只是在本文所提出的高度抽象的层面上。

Moves & Rules: Addressing the Puzzle of Social Rule-Following 行动与规则解决社会规则遵循之谜

Alma Diamond

I explore a puzzle at the heart of the so-called ‘practice theory of rules’: how can rules, operating as normative standards, be determined by the very actions they govern? I demonstrate how this puzzle has shaped criticism of the practice theory and limited its ability to account for mistake and disagreement within social practices. I identify the reason for these difficulties: an exclusive focus on individual deliberative attitudes which ignores the dynamic interaction between plural and individual deliberation within social practices. Drawing on recent work in social ontology, I construct a framework to capture this dynamism. I distinguish between two deliberative contexts in social practices: background rule-setting and foreground move-making. Social practices involve a complex interplay between these two contexts. With this, I account for the possibility of divergence between practices and the rules governing them, while at the same time retaining an analysis of social rules’ dependence on practices.

我将探讨所谓 "规则实践理论 "的核心难题:作为规范性标准运作的规则如何由其所规范的行为本身决定?我将展示这一难题如何影响了对实践理论的批评,并限制了实践理论解释社会实践中的错误和分歧的能力。我指出了造成这些困难的原因:只关注个人的审议态度,忽视了社会实践中多元审议与个人审议之间的动态互动。借鉴社会本体论的最新研究成果,我构建了一个框架来捕捉这种动态。我区分了社会实践中的两种审议背景:背景规则制定和前台行动决策。社会实践涉及这两种语境之间复杂的相互作用。这样,我就解释了实践与管理实践的规则之间可能存在的分歧,同时保留了对社会规则依赖于实践的分析。

Arbitrary Power: Caricature and Concept 专横的权力:漫画与概念

Arbitrary power is often understood as bearing some kind of relation to tyrannical rule, a relation that is thought to explain why arbitrary power is objectionable. But what is tyrannical rule? What precisely is the relationship between arbitrary power and tyranny? Why (if at all) is arbitrary power objectionable? Arbitrary power, this paper argues, is best understood through the figure of the tyrant. The figure of the tyrant is a caricature with stock character traits, usually of a disliked other, who is, or is thought to be, powerful. Arbitrary power, the paper argues, is power that is constituted to express, or enable the expression of, caricatured tyrannical traits. Arbitrary power is bad or objectionable (if and when it is) for mimetic reasons. Understanding arbitrary power in this way allows us to see problems with how it is deployed, understood and communicated and has advantages over standard accounts.

专断权力通常被理解为与暴政有某种关系,这种关系被认为可以解释专断权力为何令人反感。但什么是暴政?专断权力与暴政之间的关系究竟是什么?为什么(如果有的话)专断权力令人反感?本文认为,最好通过暴君的形象来理解专断权力。暴君的形象是一个具有典型性格特征的漫画,通常是一个不受欢迎的人,他拥有或被认为拥有权力。本文认为,专断的权力是为表达或促成表达漫画中的暴君特征而构成的权力。出于模仿的原因,专断权力是不好的或令人反感的(如果它是专断权力的话)。通过这种方式来理解专断权力,我们可以看到权力在部署、理解和传播方式上存在的问题,这比标准的说法更有优势。

Rights, Wronging, and Equality of Status 权利、错误和地位平等

Two problems about rights have received so far little attention. One is the problem of identifying a general value in the practice of rights. The second is to see when, if at all, rights violations wrong the right-holder, in a morally significant sense. In the present essay, I address the first question by investigating the second. I first show that if we commit to the two ideas, common in the contemporary philosophy of rights, that claim-rights always correlate with directed duties and that rights aspire to protect interests of the right-holder, we make it hard to explain why rights violations, in general, wrong right-holders. In the final section, I present what I see as a promising solution to the puzzle. I describe a particular social environment (the society of equals) where interacting with others through rights is indeed valuable because respecting rights communicates that one takes seriously others’ equal moral status. In such a society and only in such a society, I conclude, moral agents are required to treat all rights violations as wrongs perpetrated against the right-holder.

迄今为止,有两个关于权利的问题很少受到关注。其一是确定权利实践中的一般价值问题。第二个问题是,从道德意义上讲,侵犯权利的行为何时会损害权利人的利益。在本文中,我通过研究第二个问题来解决第一个问题。我首先表明,如果我们坚持当代权利哲学中常见的两种观点,即主张权利总是与有指向性的义务相关联,以及权利渴望保护权利人的利益,那么我们就很难解释为什么一般来说侵犯权利会损害权利人的利益。在最后一节中,我提出了一个有希望解决这一难题的方案。我描述了一种特殊的社会环境(平等社会),在这种环境中,通过权利与他人互动确实是有价值的,因为尊重权利就意味着一个人认真对待他人平等的道德地位。我的结论是,在这样的社会中,也只有在这样的社会中,道德主体才需要将所有侵犯权利的行为视为对权利拥有者犯下的错误。

Liberty, Secrecy, and the Right of Assessment 自由、保密和评估权

In this article we argue that governmental practices of secrecy threaten the epistemic dimension of rights. We defend the view that possessing a right entitles its holder to the largest extent of available knowledge of the circumstances that may impede the enjoyment of that right. We call this the ‘epistemic entitlement’ of rights. Such an entitlement holds in ideal conditions once full transparency is assumed. However, under non-ideal conditions secrecy is a fact that should be accounted for. We argue that, under such conditions, interference due to secrecy is legitimate when the circumstances under which it occurs are open to assessment by the right-holder. We call this the ‘right of assessment’. It ensures the ex-post fulfillment of the epistemic entitlement under non-ideal conditions of partial compliance where full transparency is unattainable due to the fact of secrecy. The right of assessment shields against arbitrary interference by imposing an obligation on the government to provide justification for any interference in the sphere of fundamental rights.

在本文中,我们认为政府的保密做法威胁到了权利的认识层面。我们维护这样一种观点,即拥有一项权利就有权让其持有者最大程度地了解可能妨碍其享有该权利的各种情况。我们称之为权利的 "认识论权利"。一旦假定完全透明,这种权利在理想条件下是成立的。然而,在非理想条件下,保密是一个应该考虑的事实。我们认为,在这样的条件下,如果权利人可以对发生干涉的情况进行评估,那么因保密而产生的干涉就是合法的。我们称之为 "评估权"。在部分遵守的非理想条件下,由于保密事实而无法实现完全透明,评估权可确保事后履行认识论权利。评估权规定政府有义务为其在基本权利领域的任何干预行为提供正当理由,从而防止任意干预。

Lawful, but not Really: The Dual Character of the Concept of Law 合法,但并非真正合法:法律概念的双重特性
IF 0.8 2区 哲学 Q3 ETHICS Pub Date : 2024-04-20 DOI: 10.1007/s10982-024-09501-8
Brian Flanagan, Guilherme de Almeida

Disagreement on law’s relationship to morality has long been driven by disagreement about our ordinary concept. Until recently, however, there had been no systematic investigation of lay intuitions. In this paper, we advance this nascent effort. Across two studies (N = 697), our findings reveal that most people consider law to be more than a matter of political circumstance alone. Contrary to the expectations of most contemporary philosophers, morality (both substantive and procedural) emerges as a key influence on judgments of legal validity: many people say that conduct prohibited by immoral statutes is not truly illegal, and that immoral conduct which was never explicitly prohibited is truly illegal. This suggests that people often treat law as a dual character concept that, like the concepts of scientist or of artist, features autonomous concrete and abstract dimensions.

长期以来,关于法律与道德关系的分歧一直是由我们对普通概念的分歧所导致的。然而,直到最近,我们还没有对非专业人士的直觉进行过系统的调查。在本文中,我们推进了这一新生努力。通过两项研究(N = 697),我们的调查结果显示,大多数人认为法律不仅仅是一个政治环境问题。与大多数当代哲学家的期望相反,道德(包括实体和程序两方面)成为影响法律有效性判断的关键因素:许多人说,不道德的法规所禁止的行为并非真正的非法,而从未被明确禁止的不道德的行为才是真正的非法。这表明,人们通常将法律视为具有双重性格的概念,就像科学家或艺术家的概念一样,具有自主的具体和抽象维度。

How can tort law be justified? There are well-known difficulties with the three traditional theories of tort law dominating the literature (namely, economic theory, corrective justice theory, and civil recourse theory). Recently, some have turned to moral contractualism in search of tort law’s foundation. One of the most prominent attempts was made by Gregory Keating. Keating’s account, however, has been subjected to powerful objections. In a recent paper, John Oberdiek, through a sympathetic critique of Keating’s account, develops a new version of contractualist tort theory that is alleged to be at once superior to the three traditional theories of tort law and immune to the objections to Keating’s account. The aim of my paper is to critically assess Oberdiek’s account; I will argue that, while Oberdiek’s account does improve upon Keating’s in some important respects, it is ultimately unsatisfactory.

如何证明侵权法的合理性?众所周知,侵权法的三大传统理论(即经济理论、矫正正义理论和民事追索权理论)在文献中占据主导地位。最近,一些人转向道德契约论,以寻求侵权法的基础。格雷戈里-基廷(Gregory Keating)的尝试最为突出。然而,基廷的观点遭到了强烈的反对。在最近的一篇论文中,约翰-奥伯迪克(John Oberdiek)通过对基廷的论述进行同情的批判,提出了一种新版本的契约主义侵权理论,据称这种理论既优于侵权法的三种传统理论,又能抵御对基廷论述的反对。我的论文旨在对奥伯狄克的论述进行批判性评估;我将论证,尽管奥伯狄克的论述在某些重要方面确实改进了基廷的论述,但它最终还是不能令人满意。
