Abstract

The main part of the paper describes the deep connections between the concepts of vices, corruption, and misanthropy. I argue that the full significance of the concept of human vices or failings is only fully appreciated when it is connected to an account of the ways that our social practices and institutions are corrupting, in the sense of facilitating or encouraging the development and exercise of those failings. Moreover, reflection on failings and corruption can lead us to misanthropy, defined in a revisionary sense as a negative, critical verdict on the collective moral character and performance of humankind as it has come to be. At the end of the paper, I tentatively ask if there can be forms of Christian misanthropy.
从罪恶到腐败再到厌世
论文的主要部分描述了罪恶、腐败和厌世这三个概念之间的深刻联系。我认为,只有将人类恶习或失败的概念与我们的社会实践和制度的腐败方式联系起来,在促进或鼓励这些缺点的发展和实践的意义上,才能充分认识到人类恶习或失败概念的全部意义。此外,对失败和腐败的反思可能导致我们厌世,从修正的意义上讲,厌世被定义为对人类集体道德品质和表现的消极、批判性判断。在论文的最后,我试探性地问,是否存在基督教厌世的形式。
