摘要
正义感是有助于人类合作的道德情感,但它并不是一种单一性的概念,而是复合性的,它至少包含了感激、愤恨、负罪与义愤,这些情感具有不同的进化机制,因此,对正义感起源的解释也就并非某种单一的进化论模式可以应付,不同的道德情感可能适用于不同的进化论解释模式,这才是理解正义感起源的科学态度。
The sense of justice is important for social cooperation. It is not an unitary notion, it is compositive and includes at least four types of moral feelings: gratitude, resentment, guilt and indignation, these moral feelings have different evolutionary mechanisms, so there are a lot of evolutionary models to explain human behavior, we are hard to say which one is decisive. Given the complexity of sense of justice, if we want to understand the origin of sense of justice from the perspective of evolution, we must realize that any singular explanation model is still open to discussion, and we must try to take plural perspectives.
