摘要

伊莱·赫希认为,某些本体论上的争论涉及到“对等”语言之间的冲突,而慈善原则迫使每个争论者都把对方解释为真正用自己的语言说话。对赫希来说,语言的语义将句子(在上下文中)映射到可能世界的集合上,但没有赋予引用任何角色。我认为,这种方法导致了对争议的过度无情的描述——说“等同”语言的本体论家只能争论语法。缺乏慈善源于这样一个事实,即这种描述可能无法支持争论者的自我概念——特别是我称之为“弱自我概念”。结果,赫希的通货紧缩主义受到了同样的慈善原则的影响。

Ontological disagreements, reference, and charity: A challenge for Hirsch's deflationism
Eli Hirsch argues that certain ontological disputes involve a conflict between “ equivalent ” languages, and that the principle of charity compels each disputant to interpret the other as speaking truly in their own language. For Hirsch, a language ’ s semantics maps sentences (in context) onto sets of possible worlds but assigns no role to reference. I argue that this method leads to an overly uncharitable portrayal of the disputes at issue – whereby ontologists who speak “ equivalent ” languages can only argue about syntax. Lack of charity stems from the fact that this portrayal likely fails to uphold the self-conception of the disputants – and particularly what I will call “ the weak self-conception ” . As a result, Hirsch ’ s deflationism falls victim of the same principle of charity that informs it.
