摘要

摘要:本文的主要目的是论证“叙事能力”是我们精神生活的真实特征,是一种使我们成为成熟的道德负责的行为者的技能。我从理性——回应的角度来处理这个问题。理性-回应理论的核心思想是,道德责任要求对理性有足够的敏感性。我认为,我们理解和讲述故事的能力在这种敏感性中起着重要作用。如果没有这样的技能,我们将无法获得道德行为者需要获得的全部理由,并且/或者我们将缺乏衡量我们认识到的理由的能力。在论证了叙述技巧的相关性之后,我认为理解理性敏感性和叙述之间的联系会带来额外的好处。它阐明了重要的心理结构(有时被认为是在原因反应的叙述中缺失的),并有助于解释一些减少责备的案例。

NARRATIVE CAPACITY AND MORAL RESPONSIBILITY
Abstract: My main aim in this essay is to argue that “narrative capacity” is a genuine feature of our mental lives and a skill that enables us to become full-fledged morally responsible agents. I approach the issue from the standpoint of reasons-responsiveness. Reasons-responsiveness theories center on the idea that moral responsibility requires sufficient sensitivity to reasons. I argue that our capacity to understand and tell stories has an important role to play in this sensitivity. Without such skill we would be cut off from the full range of reasons to which moral agents need access and/or we would be deficient in the ability to weigh the reasons that we recognize. After arguing for the relevance of narrative skill, I argue that understanding the connection between reasons-sensitivity and narrative confers additional benefits. It illuminates important psychological structures (sometimes said to be missing from reasons-responsive accounts) and helps to explain some cases of diminished blame.

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
