Topics
主持人：本期节目探讨了自杀的道德性问题。从历史角度看，自杀在大多数文化中曾被视为非法；从宗教角度看，基督教（特别是早期）以及柏拉图哲学都认为自杀是违背神意或职责的行为，理由是人并非完全拥有自身生命，而是受神或宇宙的支配；从哲学角度看，休谟质疑了教会关于自杀的论点，认为对社会的义务并非无限的，在极度痛苦的情况下，自杀并非不道德；伏尔泰认为人们对死亡的恐惧是防止自杀的保障，但同时也认为人们有权决定自己的生死；康德则认为自杀是错误的，因为它等同于抛弃人性，将自己视为“物”，而非人，并且阻止了道德行为的发生。节目中还探讨了人们对自杀的看法往往带有主观假设，而非客观事实，以及自杀的定义在于其背后的意图，而非行为本身的结果等问题。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the morality of suicide. We begin by questioning our own biases and assumptions about suicide and where they come from. Next, we examine suicide from a Christian perspective by considering the arguments posed by St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. Finally, we discuss the perspectives of enlightenment thinkers Hume, Voltaire, and Kant and ultimately discover that suicide may not be as easy to categorize as many people think. All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!
