This thought is inspired by Bernard Williams’ Truth and Truthfulness. He believes that the differences between people do not stem solely from variations in their mentalities. Rather, they are also related to the positions we occupy in society. Therefore, we are different not simply because some are more clever or smart, but because of the contingent locations we are assigned within the social structure.
这个想法源自伯纳德·威廉斯(Bernard Williams)的《真理与真诚》。他认为,人与人之间的差异并不完全源于心智的不同,而是与我们在社会中所处的位置有关。因此,我们的不同并不是因为我们比别人更聪明,而是因为我们在社会结构中被赋予了偶然的位置。
