Abstract

In this article, I present discussions of conditions for reviving public morale and, in the process, public morality, which would ultimately be a political goal, using examples from the Victorian era in Britain and what Americans refer to as the Progressive Era at the beginning of the twentieth century in the United States. I begin with an older book by Gertrude Himmelfarb that emphasises the revitalisation of public morality in Victorian Britain. A book by Robert D. Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett makes similar claims for the effects of the Progressive Era in the US, and for how a similar approach could be useful in the present era. Both books emphasise cultural critique and discount the effects of causality going in the opposite direction, starting with economic revival, and I discuss this dilemma in this article.
理解关于提高公共道德的容易性的主张
在这篇文章中,我以英国维多利亚时代和美国人所说的美国20世纪初的进步时代为例,讨论了重振公众士气的条件,并在此过程中讨论了公共道德,这最终将成为一个政治目标。我从格特鲁德·希梅尔法布的一本旧书开始,这本书强调了维多利亚时代英国公共道德的复兴。Robert D.Putnam和Shaylyn Romney Garrett的一本书对美国进步时代的影响以及类似的方法在当今时代如何有用提出了类似的主张。这两本书都强调文化批判,而忽略了从经济复兴开始的相反方向的因果关系的影响,我在本文中讨论了这一困境。
