托斯丹·凡勃伦:有闲阶级论·摘录 125

托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资

The possession and the cultivation of the predatory traits of character may, of course, be desirable on other than economic grounds. There is a prevalent aesthetic or ethical predilection for the barbarian aptitudes, and the traits in question minister so effectively to this predilection that their serviceability in the aesthetic or ethical respect probably offsets any economic unserviceability which they may give. But for the present purpose that is beside the point. Therefore nothing is said here as to the desirability or advisability of sports on the whole, or as to their value on other than economic grounds.

白话

当然,拥有和培养掠夺性性格特征可能出于经济以外的理由而令人向往。人们普遍在审美或伦理上偏爱野蛮人的才能,而相关特征如此有效地满足了这种偏爱,以至于它们在审美或伦理方面的实用性可能抵消了它们可能带来的任何经济上的无用性。但就目前的目的而言,这是无关紧要的。因此,这里没有就运动的整体可取性或明智性,或其在经济以外理由上的价值发表任何看法。凡勃伦在此划清界限:他只从经济角度分析,不评价运动本身的好坏。

上下文

凡勃伦在《有闲阶级论》中声明自己的分析限于经济视角,不对运动做道德评判。

今日一问

你在分析问题时,能否清晰区分事实判断和价值判断?
