摘要

本文认为,正是机器构成了伦理的症状——“症状”被理解为在道德考虑体系中排除了“没有部分”。历史上一直围绕人类或至少是生物主体组织的伦理学,需要机器来定义道德共同体的适当界限,即使它同时将这种机制排除在任何严肃的道德考虑之外。辩论将分五个步骤或动作进行。第一部分将定义和描述“症状”,因为它已经在斯洛文尼亚哲学家斯拉沃伊Žižek的工作中运作。虽然Žižek借用了雅克·拉康的这个术语,但他以一种独特的方式发展了这个概念,超越了拉康最初的精神分析公式。第二部分和第三部分将展示机器如何构成道德哲学的症状,展示它如何以及为什么包含了定义道德主体性的适当界限所必需的始终被排除在外的要素。第四部分将考虑两种替代方案,它们有望缓解这种症状,但最终都失败了。最后一节将引出这种分析对伦理学及其被排除在外的其他方面的影响。

The Symptom of Ethics; Rethinking Ethics in the Face of the Machine
This essay argues that it is the machine that constitutes the symptom of ethics— “symptom” understood as that excluded “part that has no part” in the system of moral consideration. Ethics, which has been historically organized around a human or at least biological subject, needs the machine to define the proper limits of the moral community even if it simultaneously excludes such mechanisms from any serious claim on moral consideration. The argument will proceed in five steps or movements. The first part will define and characterize “the symptom” as it has been operationalized in the work of Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. Although Žižek appropriates this term from Jacques Lacan, he develops the concept in a unique way that exceeds Lacan’s initial psychoanalytic formulations. The second and third parts will demonstrate how the machine constitutes the symptom of moral philosophy, showing how and why it comprises the always already excluded element necessary to define the proper limits of moral subjectivity. The fourth part will then consider two alternatives that promise, but ultimately fail, to accommodate this symptom. And the final section will draw out the consequences of this analysis for ethics and its excluded others.
