书评:Moral Exemplars in the Analects: The Good Person Is That

Tan, S. H. (2013). Olberding, Amy, Moral Exemplars in the Analects: The Good Person Is That. Dao: a Journal of Comparative Philosophy, 12(2), 261.


该书的理论框架是Linda Zagzebski's exemplarism.  作者强调善的lived experience(即exemplar),而非善的先决条件。The lived experience of goodness rather than serving as a precondition for it. 

Confucius and his students share an admiration for certain exemplars, which provide a pre-theoretical foundation for the moral sensibility of the Analects. 榜样是前理论的基础。


书评者的批评:存在一个张力——不确定的道德模范(如乡愿)与权威的道德概念的论述。
