Abstract

It is commonly believed that blamees can dismiss hypocritical blame on the ground that the hypocrite has no standing to blame their target. Many believe that the feature of hypocritical blame that undermines standing to blame is that it involves an implicit denial of the moral equality of persons. After all, the hypocrite treats herself better than her blamee for no good reason. In the light of the complement to hypocrites and a comparison of hypocritical and non-hypocritical blamers subscribing to hierarchical moral norms, I show why we must reject the moral equality account of the hypocrite’s lack of standing to blame.

为什么道德上平等的伪君子缺乏应受谴责的理由失败了

摘要

通常认为，责备者可以以伪君子没有资格责备其目标的理由来消除伪善的责备。许多人认为，虚伪的责备破坏了应责地位，这是隐含地否认人的道德平等。毕竟，伪君子在没有充分理由的情况下对待自己的行为要胜过责备自己的行为。根据对伪君子的补充，以及对伪君子和非伪君子遵循等级道德规范的比较，我表明了为什么我们必须拒绝伪君子缺乏应受谴责的道德平等观点。
