In “What's Wrong with Colonialism,” Lea Ypi argues that the distinctive wrong of colonialism should be understood as the failure of the colonial relationship to extend equal and reciprocal terms of political association to the colonized. Laura Valentini argues that Ypi's account fails. Her argument targets an ambiguity in Ypi's account of the relata of the colonial relationship. Either Ypi's view is that the members of the colonized group are, as individuals, denied an equal and reciprocal political relationship to the colonizer, or Ypi's view is that the colonized individuals form a collective agent and that it is denied an equal and reciprocal relationship to the colonizer. According to Valentini, both options face insurmountable difficulties. This paper argues that Valentini sets up a false dilemma: the third option is to think of the colonizer as relating in an unequal and nonreciprocal way to the plurality of people subjected to colonial rule. This view, I argue, avoids Valentini's objections, but it also raises new questions about how we are to understand the distinctive wrong of colonialism.

被殖民者和殖民主义的错误

在“殖民主义有什么问题”中,Lea Ypi 认为殖民主义的明显错误应该被理解为殖民关系未能将平等和互惠的政治联合条款扩展到被殖民者。劳拉·瓦伦蒂尼 (Laura Valentini) 认为 Ypi 的帐户失败了。她的论点针对的是 Ypi 对殖民关系关系的描述中的含糊不清。要么 Ypi 的观点是被殖民群体的成员作为个体被拒绝与殖民者建立平等和互惠的政治关系,要么 Ypi 的观点是被殖民个体形成一个集体代理人,并且被拒绝与殖民者建立平等和互惠的关系。殖民者。根据瓦伦蒂尼的说法,这两种选择都面临着无法克服的困难。这篇论文认为 Valentini 设置了一个错误的困境:第三种选择是将殖民者视为以不平等和非互惠的方式与受到殖民统治的多元化人民的关系。我认为,这种观点避免了瓦伦蒂尼的反对,但它也提出了关于我们如何理解殖民主义的明显错误的新问题。
