Abstract

In "Were Lockdowns Justified? A Return to the Facts and Evidence", we argue that Eric Winsberg, Jason Brennan and Chris Surprenant fail to make their case that initial COVID-19 lockdowns were unjustified, due to the fact their argument rests on erroneous factual claims. As is made clear by a response in this volume, the authors mistakenly take us to have been defending the imposition of lockdowns. Here, we clarify the aims of our original paper, and emphasise the importance of getting the facts right when making philosophical arguments in such a contentious domain.

在《封锁合理吗?》在《回归事实和证据》一书中，我们认为，埃里克·温斯伯格、杰森·布伦南和克里斯·苏普伦特未能证明最初的COVID-19封锁是不合理的，因为他们的论点建立在错误的事实主张之上。正如本卷中的一篇回应所表明的那样，作者错误地认为我们一直在为实施封锁辩护。在这里，我们澄清了原始论文的目的，并强调在这样一个有争议的领域进行哲学论证时，获得正确事实的重要性。
