充满智慧、幽默的哈佛大学公开课-第11讲服从你的动机(17)

They can be questions of clarification or they can be challenges, if you want to challenge this idea that only the motive of duty confers moral worth on the action. What do you think?
可以是想要弄清某个问题，或挑战某个观点，倘若你想要挑战只有职责动机赋予行为道德价值这一观点。大家怎么认为？
Yes. Yeah, I actually have two questions of clarification.
你来。我有两个问题想得到阐释。
- The first is, there seems to be an aspect of this that makes it sort of self-defeating in that once you"re conscious of what morality is you can sort of alter your motive to achieve that end of morality. And. . . - Give me—give me an example of what you have in mind. The shopkeeper example.
- 首先，这里好像是有些自相矛盾的地方，因为一旦你认识到了什么是道德，你可以刻意改变动机以实现道德的目的。然后……- 来举一个例子。那个店主的例子。
- If he decides that he wants to give the person the money to do the right thing and he—and he decides that it"s his motive to do so because he wants to be moral then isn"t that sort of defeating trying to. . . Isn"t that sort of defeating the purity of his action if—if morality is determined by his motive? His motive is then to act morally.
