This paper develops a novel account of the nature of blame: on this account, blame is a species of performance with a constitutive aim. The argument for the claim that blame is an action is speech-act theoretic: it relies on the nature of performatives and the parallelism between mental and spoken blame. I argue that the view scores well on prior plausibility and theoretical fruitfulness, in that: it rests on claims that are widely accepted across sub-disciplines, it explains the normativity of blaming and it accounts for associated psychological phenomena.

责备表现

本文提出了一种怪异性质的新颖解释：从这个原因出发，怪状是具有构成目标的一种表演。关于指责是一种行为的主张的论点是言语行为理论：它依赖于表演者的本质以及心理和口头责备之间的平行性。我认为，该观点在先验的合理性和理论上的丰硕性方面得分很高，因为：它基于在各个子学科中被广泛接受的主张，它解释了责备的规范性，并解释了相关的心理现象。
