摘要 道德处方的要求通常仅根据遵守该处方所涉及的福利成本来理解。我认为心理困难是要求的第二个方面，其相关性不能被简化为与福利成本的相关性。诉诸心理困难解释了关于是否允许偏袒自己胜过他人、偏爱亲人胜过陌生人、偏爱短期利益胜过长期利益的直觉判断。这对于解决全球严重贫困问题的道德也具有重大影响。
ABSTRACT The demandingness of a moral prescription is generally understood exclusively in terms of the welfare costs involved in complying with that prescription. I argue that psychological difficulty is a second aspect of demandingness, whose relevance cannot be reduced to that of welfare costs. Appeal to psychological difficulty explains intuitive verdicts about the permissibility of favouring oneself over others, favouring loved ones over strangers, and favouring one’s short-term good over one’s long-term good. There are also significant implications for the morality of addressing severe global poverty.
