充满智慧、幽默的哈佛大学公开课-第11讲服从你的动机(20)

好吧，快速谈一下第二个问题，那么是什么让道德无法完全客观化？- 抱歉。是主观化。- 是什么让道德无法主观化？- 是的，就像……如果道德完全被你的道德规范所决定，那么你如何能够应用它，或它是如何实施的呢？- 好的，这也是非常好的问题。你叫什么？- 我叫阿玛蒂。
- Amady? - Yes. All right, if acting morally means acting according to a moral law out of duty and if it"s also to act freely in the sense of autonomously, it must mean that I"m acting according to a law that I give myself, that"s what it means to act autonomously.
- 阿玛蒂？- 是的。如果行为道德意味着出于职责的道德法则行动，如果行为道德也意味着自主意义上的自由行动，那这肯定意味着我在根据自己所定的法则行动，这才是自主行动的意思。
Amady is right about that. But that does raise a really interesting question.
阿玛蒂在这方面的理解是正确的。但这却引出了另一个非常有趣的问题。
If acting autonomously means acting according to a law I give myself, that"s how I escape the chain of cause and effect and the laws of nature. What"s the guarantee that the law I give myself when I"m acting out of duty is the same as the law that Amady is giving himself and that each of you gives yourselves?
如果自主行为意味着按照自己制定的法则行动，那么我便脱离了因果关系和自然法则的束缚。是什么保证了当我出于职责的目的行动时，我为自己制定的法则与阿玛蒂为他制定的，以及大家每个人为自己制定的法则一样呢？
