Abstract

This chapter considers the main arguments against the possibility that basic normative principles can change, and finds them wanting. The principal argument discussed derives from the claim that normative considerations are intelligible, and therefore that they can be explained, and their explanations presuppose the prior existence of basic normative principles. The intelligibility thesis is affirmed but the implication that basic change is impossible is denied. Subsumptive explanations are contrasted with explanations by analogy. Later in the chapter, other objections are considered more briefly: that normative properties are queer, that they are unconnected to the rest of reality, and therefore cannot play an explanatory role, etc.
基本道德原则会改变吗?
本章考虑了反对基本规范原则可能改变的主要论点,并发现它们的不足之处。所讨论的主要论点源于这样一种主张,即规范性考虑是可理解的,因此它们可以被解释,而它们的解释以基本规范性原则的先验存在为前提。可理解性论题得到肯定,但基本变化是不可能的暗示被否定。归纳解释与类比解释是对立的。在本章的后面,我们将更简要地讨论其他的反对意见:规范性属性是奇怪的,它们与现实的其余部分没有联系,因此不能发挥解释作用,等等。
