Abstract

Abstract:Hume's account of the scope of justice, many think, is implausibly narrow, applying almost exclusively to respect for property rights. Such a view would indeed be highly objectionable because it would leave out of the scope of justice altogether requirements to keep our promises, obey the law, and refrain from threats and violence (among many others). I argue that Hume's theory of justice, properly understood, avoids this objection. And seeing how is instructive because once we understand his account correctly, we can appreciate its resources for offering attractive explanations of why a number of diverse phenomena fall within the scope of justice. Overcoming this challenge is a major stepping stone on the way to seeing Hume's theory of justice as a genuine competitor with the other dominant theories of justice in the philosophical literature.
休谟关于正义范围的论述
摘要:许多人认为,休谟关于正义范围的论述过于狭隘,几乎只适用于对财产权的尊重。这种观点确实是非常令人反感的,因为它将把遵守承诺、遵守法律、不受威胁和暴力(以及其他许多要求)等要求完全排除在正义的范围之外。我认为休谟的正义理论,如果得到正确的理解,就避免了这种异议。理解他的解释是有启发意义的,因为一旦我们正确理解了他的解释,我们就能欣赏到其中的资源,因为它提供了吸引人的解释,解释了为什么许多不同的现象都属于正义的范围。克服这一挑战是将休谟的正义理论视为哲学文献中其他主导正义理论的真正竞争者的重要垫脚石。
