Abstract
Thomas Nagel’s 2023 Moral Feelings, Moral Reality, and Moral Progress comprises a collection of two closely related essays, both concerning moral intuitions and moral epistemology. This short, inviting book is accessible, yet rich in insights, and guides the reader through a contemplation of several important moral questions. Despite being only 70 pages in length, it offers the reader a clear and straightforward overview of different moral positions, whilst touching upon numerous profound themes and questions. Throughout this discussion and explanation, the author presents his own (current) approach to morality, which he describes as a local, pluralist species of moral realism
托马斯-纳格尔(Thomas Nagel)的《2023道德情感、道德现实与道德进步》(2023 Moral Feelings, Moral Reality, and Moral Progress)由两篇密切相关的论文组成,均涉及道德直觉和道德认识论。这本短小精悍的书通俗易懂,却蕴含着丰富的见解,引导读者思考几个重要的道德问题。尽管篇幅只有 70 页,但它为读者提供了对不同道德立场的清晰而直接的概述,同时触及了众多深刻的主题和问题。在整个讨论和阐释过程中,作者提出了自己(当前)的道德观,并将其描述为一种本土的、多元的道德现实主义类型
