這是我第一門哲學課 所以沒有辦法以專業的字彙與術語向大家發問,非常抱歉. 最近上一門道德論 上禮拜討論的主題是 Does Morality Need Religion? instructor介紹了The divine command theory 接著也討論了John Arthur 對於the divine command theory的評論 (John Arthur, Morality and Moral Controversies: Religion, Morality, and Conscience, 1996) Bishop R. C, Mortimer: "God made us and all the world. Because of that he has an absolute claim on our obedience..... From this it follows that a thing is not right simply because we think it is. It is right because God commands it." John Arthur的反擊是... If there are a moral law .... Does God discover it or invent it? According to Bishop R. C, Mortimer, God invents it. Then, can God put rape into morality? If God can do it, why should we respect for God? If God can't do it, God is not almighty... and God just discovers it. 我的疑問是 ... 只有這樣而已嗎.... 這樣就結束了嗎? The divine command theory有這麼不堪一擊嗎? 由於課堂參與很重要...於是我就說... (我不是教徒 純粹為了答辯而答辯) Well, God can do it but he won't do it. Because he doesn't like it. According to moral subjectivism, when we say something is right or worng, we are expressing our positive or negative feeling of that. God might has negative feeling of rape, so God will not command it. instructor回答: ok, fair enough. (我知道我的答案一點貢獻都沒有...) 其他同學(感覺起來是教徒)的答案是... God is all good, so God will not comman it. (這樣說起來 我覺得還是會得到God discovers moral law的結論) 想請問各位,你們會怎麼回答呢? 對於John Arthur的評論該怎麼回擊呢? 感謝 --
