摘要: 在道德哲学中,伦理与道德被看作是两个不同的范畴。伦理处理的是人们应该如何生活,道德处理的是人们应该如何相互对待。德沃金试图用人类尊严原则来整合伦理与道德,并用自尊和本真性的理想对人类尊严的观念进行了独特的阐释,他希望运用阐释来建立不同价值之间相互支持的统一体系。这种努力值得肯定,但确有难度。因为包含了责任原则的本真性的理想是一种第一人称的理想,而包含了平等客观重要性原则的自尊的理想是一种第二人称的理想。这两者在涉及帮助义务时可能会发生冲突。

关键词: 自尊, 本真性, 平等的客观重要性原则, 责任原则

Abstract: In contemporary moral philosophy, ethics and morality are regarded as two different categories: ethics deals with how we should live our life, while morality concerns how we should treat each other. Ronald Dworkin tries to integrate ethics and morality by the principle of human dignity. He makes a special interpretation about human dignity by ideals of self-respect and authenticity. Dworkin wants to establish a system of values mutually supporting each other by interpretation. Such an admirable effort encounters some difficulties. For authenticity which involves the principle of responsibility is a first-person ideal, while self-respect which involves the principle of equal objective importance is a second-person ideal. They might conflict with each other when duty of aid is concerned.
