全面功利主义

[&oZ8U/P l'@/bF%Q0

O*jKg^)[ cO0根据古典功利主义,我们应该以最大化总体幸福感的方式行事。这意味着决定一种行为在道德上是否正确的唯一标准是,从可用的选项中,是否考虑到人类或动物的所有福利的福利,它将导致世界上最幸福和最痛苦的行为。一种不能以这种方式最大化福利的行为在道德上是错误的。心理学空间4g#t;]3|HB

a.V*N[{qq8E0在这个道德观上,没有人比其他任何人更重要:我们自己的利益和需要,以及我们的家人和朋友的利益和需要,永远比任何其他人的利益和需要都重要,不管我们离我们多么遥远。根据功利主义,唯一重要的是我们的行为如何影响世界上的幸福。如果违反规则或原则,会带来更好的结果,这在道义上总是正确的。心理学空间$G)`3A2n^xD*N%Su

心理学空间:` p9h*upwn

你在量表上得分越高,你自己的观点越接近古典功利主义所说的。如果你熟悉伦理理论,我们可以说,如果你是一个不合格的行为功利主义,那么你应该在量表上得分非常高。如果你更像是一个功利主义者,或者是一个结果论者,其价值论不仅仅包括福利,那么你就没有多少功利性了——但仍然很高。远离量表的顶端,一个人对道德的偏爱程度越高,他们接受的道义上的约束越多(越强),你应该得到的分数越低。如果你被W. D. Ross多元主义的道义论所吸引,你的等级就低了。如果你持有一个绝对有限的康德理论,它对后果产生有限的影响,或者是一个高度传统的道德观,那么你应该把它放在最底层。

According to classical utilitarianism, we should always act in the way that would maximize aggregate well-being. This means that the only thing that determines whether an act is morally right is whether, out of the available options, it is the act that would lead to the most happiness and the least suffering in the world, taking into account the welfare of all sentient beings, whether human or animal. An act that doesn’t maximize welfare in this way is morally wrong. On this moral view, no one counts for more than anyone else: our own interests and needs, and the interests and needs of our family and friends, never count for more than the interests and needs of any other person, however distant from us. According to utilitarianism, the only thing that matters is how our actions affect the amount of happiness in the world. It is always morally right to break a rule or principle if doing so would lead to the better outcome. The higher you score on the scale, the closer your own views fit with what classical utilitarianism says. If you are familiar with ethical theories, we could say that if you are an unqualified act utilitarian then you should score very highly this scale. If you are more of a rule utilitarian or a consequentialist whose axiology includes more than welfare then you are somewhat less utilitarian – but still high. Moving further away from the top end of the scale, the more a person thinks of morality in partial terms, and the more (and the stronger the) deontological constraints they accept, the lower scores you should have. If you are attracted to W. D. Ross’s pluralist deontological theory you would rank low on this scale. If you hold an absolutist Kantian theory which gives limited weight to consequences, or a highly traditional moral view, then you should rank at the very bottom of the scale.

公正的仁慈心理学空间9Zlx6R xUA

心理学空间,G$~"O R%Y&}3\S

功利主义的哲学核心在于大善的公正最大化——我们称之为公正的善行。你在这个维度上的得分越高,你越有可能认为采用一个完全公正的道德立场来对待每个人的幸福同样重要。如果我们完全接受功利主义的积极、公正、仁慈的维度,我们就不应该把自己的利益放在首位,也不要把自己的家庭、朋友、同胞或甚至是非人的动物放在非人的身上。公正的善行通常意味着自我牺牲的高要求形式,无论是成为素食主义者还是素食主义者,将大部分钱捐给慈善机构,旨在减轻远方国家的痛苦,甚至捐献自己的肾脏。事实上,功利主义指导道德代理人牺牲他们自己的幸福,即使只是在他们自己失去了其他人的幸福只是一个微小的增量。当然,有多少人接近这个公正的理想是一个程度的问题-甚至宣称功利主义者承认,他们没有实现它没有资格。

G1kWV)Ou3l0The philosophical core of utilitarianism lies in the impartial maximization of the greater good – what we call impartial beneficence. The higher you score on this dimension, the more likely you are to think that to adopt a thoroughly impartial moral standpoint is to treat the well-being of every individual as equally important. If we fully accept the positive, impartially beneficent, dimension of utilitarianism we should give no priority to one’s own good, nor to that of one’s family, friends, compatriots, or even fellow humans over nonhuman animals. Impartial beneficence normally implies highly demanding forms of self-sacrifice—whether by becoming vegetarian or vegan, giving much of one’s money to effective charities aiming to relieve suffering in distant countries, or perhaps even donating one’s own kidney. Indeed, utilitarianism instructs moral agents to sacrifice their own well-being even if there is only a tiny increment in the well-being of others over what they themselves have lost. Of course, however, how much one approximates this impartial ideal is a matter of degree— even avowed utilitarians admit that they fail to realize it without qualification. 心理学空间Pa t(xYl

功利主义虽然需要一种完全公正的道德观(“公正的仁慈”),但它是不够的。人们可以采取这样的观点,但仍然认为,最大限度地实现每个人的幸福目标必须遵循各种道德规则,限制我们从某些方式伤害无辜的人、说谎、违背诺言等。换言之,即使一个人赞同这个公正的道德目标,也可能认为我们被禁止采取某些手段来实现它。古典功利主义的消极成分是否认有这样的限制。当然,我们应该经常说实话,信守诺言,拒绝伤害无辜的人——但是只有当(因为)这些行为才可能导致一个更好的公正结果。当他们妨碍实现这样的结果时,这种熟悉的道德规则可以而且应该被打破。你在功利主义的“消极”维度上得分越高——“工具性伤害”——你越有可能认为当我们需要达到更好的结果时,我们应该愿意造成伤害甚至杀害他人。在经典思想实验中,有人把一个无辜的人从人行道上推下,以拯救更多的生命。但在更现实的例子中也可以看到,例如当有人认为,如果需要减少重大恐怖袭击的风险,酷刑在道德上是可以接受的。心理学空间fQ9HgUO

1npJ Sy\-B0n0Although a thoroughly impartial moral outlook (“impartial beneficence”) is necessary for utilitarianism, it is not sufficient. One can adopt such an outlook while still holding that the goal of maximizing everyone’s well-being must only be pursued in line with various moral rules constraining us from certain ways of harming innocent people, lying, breaking promises, and the like. In other words, even if one endorses this impartial moral goal, one may still think that we are forbidden from taking certain means to achieve it. The negative component of classical utilitarianism is the denial that there are any such constraints. We should of course still usually tell the truth, keep our promises, and refuse to harm innocent people— but only when (and because) these acts are likely to lead to a better impartial outcome. When they get in the way of achieving such an outcome, such familiar moral rules can and should be broken. The higher you score on this ‘negative’ dimension of utilitarianism – “instrumental harm” – the more likely you are to think that we should be willing to cause harm and even kill others when this is needed to achieve a better outcome overall. Such a willingness can be seen when—as in the classic thought experiment—someone pushes an innocent person off a footbridge to save a greater number of lives. But it can also be seen in more realistic examples, such as when someone holds that torture is morally acceptable if needed to reduce the risk of a major terrorist attack.心理学空间H?1C_-E6`,| k
