论文摘要
关于自动驾驶汽车伦理的持续辩论通常集中在回答道德问题的两种方法上:道德哲学和社会科学。我认为这两种方法都缺乏。我们不应该从个人道德理论中推断出答案,也不应该期望社会科学给我们完整的答案。为了补充这些方法,我们应该转向政治哲学。我们面临的问题是我们共同做出的集体决策,而不是根据我们每个人有理由珍视的理由做出的个人决定。政治哲学在我们的概念工具包中增加了三个基本问题:合理的多元化,人类代理和合法性。到目前为止,这三个问题在关于自动驾驶汽车伦理的辩论中已在很大程度上被忽略了。
The ongoing debate on the ethics of self-driving cars typically focuses on two approaches to answering ethical questions: moral philosophy and social science. I argue that these two approaches are both lacking. We should neither deduce answers from individual moral theories nor should we expect social science to give us complete answers. To supplement these approaches, we should turn to political philosophy. The issues we face are collective decisions that we make together rather than individual decisions we make in light of what we each have reason to value. Political philosophy adds three basic concerns to our conceptual toolkit: reasonable pluralism, human agency, and legitimacy. These three concerns have so far been largely overlooked in the debate on the ethics of self-driving cars.
