本章共分为四个部分。在第一部分中，我做了一些评论，旨在减少许多人对价值和义务概念的混淆。在第二部分中，我主要关心的是区分价值判断和伦理判断。此外，我还讨论了伦理学的本质和系统研究伦理问题的价值。在第三部分中，我回顾了几种伦理理论，以便制定一些基本的伦理原则，这些原则可能适用于考虑我们在使用合成农药方面的义务。只有在第四部分中，我才直接回答这个问题，“我们在农业中使用合成杀虫剂方面的道德义务是什么？”有些人对初步讨论不耐烦，可能认为我们应该直接审议这个问题。然而，如果其他人要理解和批判性地评价第四部分提出的主张，初步材料是必要的。
This chapter is divided into four parts. In the first part I make some remarks aimed at reducing obscurities associated, by many people, with the concepts of value and obligation. In the second part I am concerned primarily to distinguish value judgments and ethical judgments. In addition I discuss the nature of ethics and the value of systematic investigation of ethical issues. In the third part I review several ethical theories in order to formulate some basic ethical principles which may be applied in considering our obligations in regard to the use of synthetic pesticides. Only in the fourth part do I directly address the question, “What are our moral obligations in regard to the use of synthetic pesticides in agriculture?” Some people, impatient with the preliminary discussions, may think that we should have gone directly to a consideration of that question. However, if others are to understand and critically evaluate the claims made in the fourth part, the preliminary material is necessary.
