摘要

摘要本文认为，单纯加法悖论所产生的“令人反感的结论”与非人格的总功利主义等总和总和观所产生的“令人反感的结论”是不同的，而是一种更为温和的结论。给定一个光谱的结果{a, B, C,…,X, Y, Z}这样的人口是之前的两倍,只是勉强的幸福水平低于前一个,仅仅除了悖论表明,几乎所有的光谱的结果比一个好,过去的,比如Y和Z,不会,以免我们接受添加生活消极层面是积极的或中性的。这影响了单纯加法悖论的呈现方式。

A Problem in Standard Presentations of the Mere Addition Paradox

Abstract

This paper argues that the Repugnant Conclusion which the Mere Addition Paradox generates is not the same as the one which a sum-aggregative view like impersonal total utilitarianism leads to, but a slightly more moderate version of it. Given a spectrum of outcomes {A, B, C, …, X, Y, Z} such that in each of them there is a population that is twice as large as the previous one and has a level of wellbeing that is just barely lower than the previous one, the Mere Addition Paradox implies that while almost all the outcomes of the spectrum are better than A, the last ones, such as Y and Z, will not, lest we accept that adding lives at a negative level is positive or neutral. This affects the way the Mere Addition Paradox should be presented.
