Peter Singer and Helga Kuhse reject my claim that because their views on the mortality of infanticide are metaphysically incommensurate with those of Paul Ramsey they cannot refute his position. According to them, I have failed to see that Ramsey contradicts himself. Once this is seen, no further refutation is needed. I argue that there is no contradiction and offer further thoughts on the metaphysically incommensurate.
彼得·辛格和赫尔加·库舍驳斥了我的观点,即由于他们关于杀婴的道德观念在形而上学层面上与保罗·拉姆齐的观念不可通约,所以他们无法反驳他的立场。在他们看来,我没有认识到拉姆齐自相矛盾。一旦认识到这一点,就无需进一步反驳了。我认为不存在矛盾,并对形而上学层面的不可通约性提出了进一步思考。
