Abstract

Many persons find it intuitive that being friends with someone with immoral beliefs is wrong as such. I contest this claim, instead I argue that there is nothing necessarily wrong with such friendships. In coming to this conclusion I examine a number of arguments, including two of the most notable contributions put forward by Mason (2021) and Isserow (2018), that attempt to elucidate the wrongness involved in such friendships and find they do not successfully do so. I conclude by offering some arguments as to why such friendships are not necessarily wrong.

你好，黑暗，我的老朋友：与信仰不道德的人做朋友有什么错？

许多人直觉地认为，与信仰不道德的人做朋友本身就是错误的。我对这种说法提出质疑，相反，我认为这种友谊并没有什么必然的错误。在得出这一结论的过程中，我研究了一些论点，包括梅森（2021 年）和伊瑟洛（2018 年）提出的两个最著名的论点，这些论点试图阐明这种友谊所涉及的错误性，但我发现它们并没有成功地做到这一点。最后，我将提出一些论据，说明为什么这种友谊不一定是错误的。

期刊介绍： ''Founded by Mark Sacks in 1993, the European Journal of Philosophy has come to occupy a distinctive and highly valued place amongst the philosophical journals. The aim of EJP has been to bring together the best work from those working within the "analytic" and "continental" traditions, and to encourage connections between them, without diluting their respective priorities and concerns. This has enabled EJP to publish a wide range of material of the highest standard from philosophers across the world, reflecting the best thinking from a variety of philosophical perspectives, in a way that is accessible to all of them.''
