商品描述

This book is about the respective roles of intuition and reasoning in ethics. It responds to a number of well-known philosophers and psychologists, and proposes a new perspective - radical in its moderation. It examines in depth the work of the philosopher Joshua Greene and the psychologist Jonathan Haidt. With the so-called empirical turn in ethics, much work has been done to try to isolate the role of reason and intuition in forming our moral judgements, with Haidt and Greene leading the research programmes and attracting much of the professional and public attention, and many others following. The current view - shared by both camps - is that intuition is largely the driver of our moral judgements - a view summed up in Haidt's slogan 'intuition first, strategic reasoning second'. Haidt believes we have to live with this and accept it. Greene does not: he contends that our intuitions, while suitable for the environments in which we evolved, are worthless in the modern, global, technological age, and to avoid ethical disaster we must learn to adopt reason as the arbiter of moral truth. This book steers a middle course between these two positions and is therefore of great interest to philosophers and psychologists alike.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討了直覺和推理在倫理學中的相應角色。它回應了一些著名的哲學家和心理學家，並提出了一個新的觀點 - 在其適度中的激進。它深入研究了哲學家Joshua Greene和心理學家Jonathan Haidt的工作。隨著倫理學中所謂的實證轉向，人們已經做了很多工作，試圖分離出理性和直覺在形成我們道德判斷中的作用，Haidt和Greene領導著研究計劃並吸引了許多專業和公眾的關注，許多其他人也在其後。目前的觀點 - 兩個陣營都共享的觀點 - 是直覺在我們道德判斷中起主要作用，這一觀點在Haidt的口號“直覺第一，策略性推理第二”中得到了總結。Haidt認為我們必須接受這一觀點並與之共存。而Greene則不這樣認為：他主張我們的直覺雖然適用於我們進化的環境，但在現代的全球科技時代卻毫無價值，為了避免倫理災難，我們必須學會將理性作為道德真理的裁判者。這本書在這兩個立場之間取得了折衷，因此對哲學家和心理學家都具有很大的興趣。
