Abstract

ABSTRACT:This essay explores Henri Bergson’s idea of “open love” (a love that cares for all without preference, exclusion, or attachment), its relationship to religion, and its relevance for human rights. Open love is Bergson’s solution to the problem of “closed morality” (our tendency to care for our own kind over others). Reading Dave Eggers’ novel, What Is the What, alongside Bergson’s work reveals that religion (Catholicism and human rights) is indispensable to the “open morality” demanded by human rights. Although religion and love are not often part of human rights discourse, both are fundamental for human rights to work.

开放的爱、宗教与人权

摘要:本文探讨了亨利·柏格森的“开放之爱”(一种不偏袒、不排斥、不依恋地关心所有人的爱)、它与宗教的关系以及它与人权的相关性。开放的爱是柏格森对“封闭道德”问题的解决方案(我们倾向于关心自己的同类而不是他人)。阅读戴夫·埃格斯的小说《What Is the What》和柏格森的著作，你会发现宗教(天主教和人权)对于人权所要求的“开放道德”是不可或缺的。虽然宗教和爱往往不是人权话语的一部分，但两者都是人权发挥作用的基础。
