Li, P. (2024). Hypocrisy as Described in the Analects and the Mengzi. Dao, 1-19.
1 导言
本文主要讨论hypocrisy的三种形式:
(1) speech-action mismatch
(2) inner-outer mismatch
(3) the village pleasers 乡愿
2 讨论(1)(2)两种虚伪,它们是the mask image of hypocrisy
3 讨论(3),它是the chameleon image of hypocrisy
为什么乡愿很难对付?
(a) 乡愿混世 village pleasers conform to prevailing customs and harmonize with an impure age.
(b) 在公共服务上看似忠厚
(c) 讨人喜欢,并因此自以为是
4 比较阿伦特的平庸之恶
Eichmann放弃和掩盖了他的自由选择(道德原则or暴行),从而逃避其责任。
Eichmann和乡愿在作恶(以及允许恶发生)上并不平庸。
