Sometimes it is not one’s place to blame or forgive. This phenomenon is captured under the philosophical notion of standing. However, there is an asymmetry to be explained here. One can successfully blame, even if one lacks the standing to do so. Yet, one cannot successfully forgive if one lacks the standing to do so. In this article we explain this asymmetry. We argue that a complete explanation depends on not only a difference in the natures of the standing to blame and forgive but also a difference in the natures of blame and forgiveness themselves.

责备与宽恕之间的长期不对称

有时，责备或原谅不是一个人的地方。这种现象是在站立的哲学概念下捕捉到的。但是，这里有一个不对称性需要解释。一个人可以成功地指责，即使一个人缺乏这样做的资格。然而，如果一个人缺乏这样做的资格，就无法成功地原谅。在本文中，我们解释了这种不对称性。我们认为，一个完整的解释不仅取决于责备和宽恕的性质不同，还取决于责备和宽恕本身的性质不同。
