Research on moral disgust suffers from a methodological bias. The bulk of such investigation focuses almost exclusively on the operation of moral disgust within the psychology of a single individual, or as involving an interaction between two people. This leads to certain questions being salient, while other phenomena, which emerge only at the level of an entire community or society, are largely hidden from view. The present paper explains and defends a perspective that emphasizes the role of moral disgust within a community. It also illustrates the usefulness of this perspective by applying it to three quite distinct accounts of moral disgust: Alexandra Plakias’s response model of moral disgust, David Pizarro’s idea that moral disgust is part of a behavioral immune system, and Jesse Prinz’s self-consciously simple form of moral sentimentalism.

从社会角度看待道德厌恶

对道德厌恶的研究存在方法论偏见。大部分此类调查几乎完全集中在单个人心理中道德厌恶的运作上，或者涉及两个人之间的互动。这导致某些问题变得突出，而其他仅在整个社区或社会层面出现的现象在很大程度上是隐藏的。本文解释并捍卫了一种强调道德厌恶在社区中的作用的观点。它还通过将其应用于道德厌恶的三个截然不同的描述来说明这种观点的有用性：亚历山德拉普拉基亚斯的道德厌恶反应模型，大卫皮萨罗的想法，即道德厌恶是行为免疫系统的一部分，以及杰西普林茨的自我意识简单形式道德感伤主义。
