ABSTRACT

In this paper, I explore the characteristic reason that motivates a virtuously honest person to perform honest actions. I critically examine previous accounts of honesty’s characteristic motivating reason, including Christian Miller’s pluralistic account, which allows various virtuous motivating reasons to count as honesty’s motivation. I then introduce the respect for the right not to be deceived as the moral ground that characteristically motivates a virtuously honest person’s honest action. After addressing possible objections, I conclude by discussing its educational implications on cultivating the virtue of honesty.

诚实：尊重不被欺骗的权利

摘要

在这篇论文中，我探讨了促使一个品德诚实的人做出诚实行为的典型原因。我批判性地检查了以前关于诚实的典型动机的解释，包括克里斯蒂安·米勒的多元解释，它允许各种良性动机被视为诚实的动机。然后，我将尊重不被欺骗的权利作为道德基础，这种道德基础典型地激发了一个道德诚实的人的诚实行为。在解决了可能的反对意见之后，我最后讨论了它对培养诚实美德的教育意义。
