Abstract

Abstract Sidgwick saw egoism as important and undefeated. Not long afterward, egoism is largely ignored. Immediately after Sidgwick, many arguments were given against egoism – most poor – but one argument deserves attention as both influential and plausible. Call it the “grounds objection.” It has two strands. It objects that there are justifying reasons for action other than that an action will maximize my self-interest. It also objects that sometimes, what makes an action right is a fact other than its maximizing my self-interest. I briefly explain and criticize many of the arguments given against egoism in the period, then explain and defend the grounds objection.
利己主义的衰落
摘要西奇威克认为利己主义是重要的,是不可战胜的。不久之后,利己主义在很大程度上被忽视了。在Sidgwick之后,许多反对利己主义的论点——大多数都很糟糕——但有一个论点既有影响力又有说服力,值得关注。称之为“理由反对”。它有两个方面。它反对有正当理由采取行动,而不是一项行动会使我的自身利益最大化。它还反对,有时,使一项行动正确的是一个事实,而不是使我的自身利益最大化。我简要地解释和批评了这一时期反对利己主义的许多论点,然后解释并为反对理由辩护。
