书名：Ordinary Vices《平常的恶》
作者：Judith N. Shklar
简介：The seven deadly sins of Christianity (pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth) represent the abysses of character, whereas Judith Shklar’s “ordinary vices” ― CRUELTY, HYPOCRISY, SNOBBERY, BETRAYAL, and MISANTHROPY ― are merely treacherous shoals, flawing our characters with mean-spiritedness and inhumanity.
Shklar draws from a brilliant array of writers ― Montaigne, Hawthorne and Nietzsche on cruelty, Molière and Dickens on hypocrisy, Jane Austen on snobbery, Conrad and Faulkner on betrayal, Shakespeare and Montesquieu on misanthropy ― to reveal the nature and effects of the vices. She examines their destructive effects, the ambiguities of the moral problems they pose to the liberal ethos, and their implications for government and especially for liberalism as a difficult and challenging doctrine that demands a tolerance of contradiction, complexity, and understands the risks of freedom.
