Abstract

This paper argues that the so‐called ‘paradox’ of dehumanization is a mirage arising from misplaced abstraction. The alleged ‘paradox’ is taken as a challenge that arises from a skeptical stance. After reviewing the history of that skeptical stance, it is reconstructed as an argument with two premises. With the help of an epistemologically structured but pluralistic frame it is then shown how the two premises of the Skeptic's argument can both be debunked. As part of that it emerges that there are a couple of ways how dehumanization can be realized, and one such realization can be sufficient for affirming the reality of dehumanization for a specific case.
非人化 "悖论 "的海市蜃楼:如何确认非人化的现实
本文认为,所谓的非人化 "悖论 "是抽象错位产生的海市蜃楼。所谓的 "悖论 "是由怀疑论立场引发的挑战。在回顾了这一怀疑立场的历史之后,它被重构为一个包含两个前提的论证。在认识论结构化但多元化框架的帮助下,我们可以看到怀疑论者论证的两个前提是如何同时被推翻的。作为其中的一部分,我们可以发现非人化有几种实现方式,而其中一种实现方式足以肯定特定情况下非人化的真实性。
