作为一种元伦理学理论,神圣命令理论主张道德完全而直接地依赖于上帝的命令。“游叙弗伦两难”迫使神令论的辩护者们从意图解释价值论地位和道义论地位的无限定的神令论转向了仅意图解释道义论地位的有限定的神令论。亚当斯论证道德义务是由一位善的和仁爱的上帝的命令所构成,这是有限定的神令论的一个代表性版本。奎恩就道义论地位的神学唯意志论给出了一种累积案例论证。虽然神令论可能具有某些潜在的理论优势,但其遭到的各种反驳说明它还远没有实现完全而直接地解释道德义务这一初始目标。
As a meta-ethics theory, sacred command theory claims that morality depends completely and directly on God’s command. “The Syracuse dilemma ” forced the defenders of the theory of the gods to shift from the unrestricted theory of the divine order intended to explain the status of morality and moral status to the limited theory of the divine order intended only to explain the position of morality. Adams argued that moral obligation was constituted by the command of a good and benevolent God, a representative version of the limited theory of deity. Quinn gives a cumulative case study of the theological determinism of moral status. Although the theory of the gods may have some potential theoretical advantages, its various refutations indicate that it is far from realizing the initial goal of completely and directly explaining moral obligations.
