荷兰乌得勒支大学哲学与宗教研究系副教授哈诺·绍尔近日接受专访,宣传其最新著作《善恶的发明:道德世界史》[1]。该书探索了过去500年人类道德转变背后的演化故事[1]。绍尔教授伦理、元伦理和政治哲学等课程[1]。
绍尔将于8月赴澳大利亚进行多场学术活动[1]。他将在8月20日作为第五庄园系列讲座的一部分出现在墨尔本惠勒中心[1],并在8月20-30日期间参加悉尼危险思想节的多个小组讨论[1]。在专访中,绍尔表示对中世纪英格兰、古罗马等时代的时间旅行不感兴趣,将过去比作"一个动物园"[1]。
Hanno Sauer, an associate professor of philosophy at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has written a new book exploring humanity's moral evolution over the past 500 years.[1] Titled "The Invention of Good and Evil: A World History of Morality," the work examines the underlying evolutionary narratives behind transformations in human ethics throughout this period.[1]
Sauer, who specializes in ethics, metaethics, and political philosophy at his institution, will bring his ideas to Australian audiences in August through a series of public engagements.[1] He is scheduled to appear at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne on August 20 as part of the Fifth Estate lecture series, and will participate in multiple panel discussions at the Sydney Festival of Dangerous Ideas from August 20–30.[1] In an interview about his research, Sauer described the past as resembling "a zoo," indicating he would not be interested in time-traveling to medieval England or ancient Rome.[1]
