摘要

Respect is an important value for persuasion: persuaders who act disrespectfully are often met with reasonable resentment. Yet respect is frequently treated as a simple, one-dimensional value. In this article, I argue that a persuader should, other things being equal, demonstrate eight dimensions of respect. These dimensions emerge from three distinctions: between self- and other-directed respect, between actual and potential recognition of reasons, and between epistemic and practical reasons. A failure to appreciate any of these dimensions can result in the "Walter Sobchak fallacy": a persuader’s acting wrongly because of incomplete attention to different dimensions of respect.
