Is it appropriate to honor artists who have created great works but who have also acted immorally? In this article, after arguing that honoring involves identifying a person as someone we ought to admire, we present three moral reasons against honoring immoral artists. First, we argue that honoring can serve to condone their behavior, through the mediums of emotional prioritization and exemplar identification. Second, we argue that honoring immoral artists can generate undue epistemic credibility for the artists, which can lead to an indirect form of testimonial injustice for the artists’ victims. Third, we argue, building on the first two reasons, that honoring immoral artists can also serve to silence their victims. We end by considering how we might respond to these reasons.

当艺术家堕落时：尊重和欣赏不道德的人

向那些创作了伟大作品但行为不道德的艺术家致敬是否合适？在这篇文章中，在论证了尊重涉及将一个人认定为我们应该钦佩的人之后，我们提出了三个反对尊重不道德艺术家的道德理由。首先，我们认为通过情感优先排序和模范认同的媒介，尊重可以用来宽恕他们的行为。其次，我们认为表彰不道德的艺术家会给艺术家带来过度的认知可信度，这可能导致对艺术家受害者的间接形式的证词不公正。第三，基于前两个原因，我们认为，尊重不道德的艺术家也可以使受害者保持沉默。最后，我们考虑如何应对这些原因。
