Abstract

This essay argues that gratitude for one's own life is an intelligible attitude to have. It does so by arguing that reducing pro-attitudes in response to unintentional benefits to “appreciation” is too broad. Instead, such “appreciation” can be understood as gratitude if such benefits satisfy a number of conditions that track or are analogous to why we care about interpersonally bestowed benefits. One's own life satisfies those four conditions, which can make gratitude for it intelligible—when it is perceived as a benefit.

感谢(自己的)生命

本文认为，对自己的生活感恩是一种可以理解的态度。它认为，减少对“赞赏”的无意利益的支持态度过于宽泛。相反，如果这些好处满足了一些条件，那么这种“欣赏”可以被理解为感激，这些条件可以追踪或类似于我们为什么关心人际给予的好处。一个人自己的生活满足了这四个条件，当它被视为一种利益时，就可以理解对它的感激。

期刊介绍： Since its inauguration in 1964, the American Philosophical Quarterly (APQ) has established itself as one of the principal English vehicles for the publication of scholarly work in philosophy. The whole of each issue—printed in a large-page, double-column format—is given to substantial articles; from time to time there are also "state of the art" surveys of recent work on particular topics. The editorial policy is to publish work of high quality, regardless of the school of thought from which it derives.
