摘要

许多哲学家认为,在拯救无辜者的生命和避免任何小病或不便之间做出选择,拯救生命会更好。那么,人们应该如何将无辜者的生命风险与这种小病和不便进行比较呢?如果生命比微不足道的因素更重要,那么任何风险都是不可忽视的,这是站不住脚的。另一种方法似乎更有希望:让这些微不足道的因素的价值受到限制,因为在微不足道的事情和无辜生命的风险之间会有良好的权衡。然而,我们认为,界定无关紧要因素的价值会带来无数问题。

Absolutism and its Limits
Many philosophers think that given the choice between saving the life of an innocent person and averting any number of minor ailments or inconveniences, it would be better to save the life. How, then, should one compare the risk of an innocent person’s life to such minor ailments and inconveniences? If lives are infinitely more important than insignificant factors then any risk cannot be outweighed, and that is untenable. An alternative approach seems more promising: let the values of such insignificant factors be bounded, as then there will be well-behaved tradeoffs between insignificant things and the risk to an innocent life. We argue, however, that bounding the values of insignificant factors poses myriad problems.
