康德的悲剧
人的尊严
康德道德形而上学基础[1]第2章第19节最后一个自然段,其全文是:
From what was said a little time ago we can now easily explain how it comes about that, although in the concept of duty we think of subjection to the law, yet we also at the same time attribute to the person who fulfils all his duties a certain sublimity and dignity. For it is not in so far as he is subject to the law that he has sublimity, but rather in so far as, in regard to this very same law, he is at the same time its author and is subordinated to it only on this ground. We have also shown above how neither fear nor inclination, but only reverence for the law, is the motive which can give an action moral worth. Our own will, provided it were to act only under the condition of being able to make universal law by means of its maxims-this ideal will which can be ours is the proper object of reverence; and the dignity of man consists precisely in his capacity to make universal law, although only on condition of being himself also subject to the law he makes.
笔者另行[2]翻译如下:
从稍早说过的内容,即可轻松解释本末由来,在义务的概念之下,我们想到的是服从普适律;与此同时,我们也向克尽义务者报之以某种程度崇高和尊严。并不是在服从普适律的限度内,他赢得崇高;就是这同一普适律,他是普适律的作者同时也就因为这他才服从普适律,在这个限度内他赢得崇高。我们也在此前说明,既非怕也非好,反倒是对普适律的敬畏,才是行为具有道德价值的动机。我们自己的意志,如若借助它的行为规则足以立普适律,仅仅在这样的条件下,这可能属于我们的理想意志,才是敬畏的合适对象。人的尊严的的确确来自于,有能力立普适律,尽管在他自己又服从他所立普适律的条件下为之。
