阴谋论如今甚是风靡。探讨阴谋论的著作层出不穷。媒体也频繁提到关于某个事件的“阴谋论”。如何解释这种风靡?作者试图表明阴谋论者“信仰的正确理由”是什么。作者划分了信奉阴谋论的一般文化原因和特殊的,尤其是意识形态的原因。一般文化原因可以解释阴谋论观念为何易被人接受,特殊原因可以解释某些个体为何信奉这种而不是另一种阴谋论。作者得出结论认为,阴谋论和迷信一样,提出了一些简单解释,归咎于外在于我们的单一原因,同时免除我们的责任。
Conspiracy theory is very popular today. There are an endless stream of writings on conspiracy theories. The media also frequently refers to “conspiracy theories” about an event. How to explain this rage? The author attempts to show what the conspiracy theorist is “the right reason for faith.” The author divides the general cultural reasons for the conspiracy theory and the particular reasons, especially the ideology. General cultural reasons may explain why conspiracy theories are easily accepted and that special reasons may explain why some individuals believe this rather than another conspiracy theory. The authors conclude that conspiracy theories, like superstitions, offer some simple explanations, blamed on the single cause external to us, and at the same time dispense with our responsibility.
