萨缪尔·克拉克是近代英国理性主义伦理学的代表人物之一。克拉克既是一个理性主义者,同时也是一个牛顿主义者。他在哲学中采用数学和逻辑的方法,试图将其建立在一个自明的基础上。克拉克道德哲学的核心是道德适宜性理论,当然他关于自由和道德责任的论述也很重要。克拉克的哲学,尤其是他的道德理论对18世纪英国伦理学的发展产生了很大的影响。因此,了解克拉克及其道德理论有助于我们更加完整和更加准确地认识近代英国道德哲学的发展脉络。
Samuel Clarke is one of the representatives of modern British rationalism ethics. Clarke is both a rationalist and a Newtonian. He uses mathematical and logical methods in philosophy, trying to establish it on a self-evident basis. The core of Clarke’s moral philosophy is the theory of moral suitability, of course, his argument about freedom and moral responsibility is also important. Clarke’s philosophy, especially his moral theory, had a great influence on the development of British ethics in the 18th century. Therefore, to understand Clarke and his moral theory will help us to understand the development context of modern British moral philosophy more completely and accurately.
