In this paper, I argue that the certainty about the wrongness of killing must not be considered as a universal, but as a local one. Initially, I show that there exist communities in which the wrongness of killing innocents is not a moral certainty and that this kind of case cannot be justified by arguing that such people are psychopaths. Lastly, I argue that universal certainties do not admit of exceptions: thus, the fact that some exceptional cases affect the certainty that killing innocents is wrong, leads me to conclude that it is a local certainty.

为什么杀害无辜者的错误不是普遍的道德确定性

在这篇论文中,我认为关于杀戮错误的确定性不能被视为普遍的,而应被视为局部的。最初,我表明存在一些社区,在这些社区中,杀害无辜者的错误不是道德确定性的,并且不能通过争论这些人是精神病患者来为这种情况辩护。最后,我认为普遍确定性不承认例外:因此,一些例外情况影响杀害无辜者是错误的确定性这一事实使我得出结论,这是局部确定性。
