关于“亚道德”问题的思考

The Possibility of the “Sub-moral”

关于“亚道德”是否存在及其在特定条件下应否提倡,伦理学界存在着不同的观点和看法。事实上,正如违法行为可分为一般违法行为和严重违法行为一样,我们对非道德行为的审视和判定,也不应简单地遵循非此即彼的逻辑。非道德行为的“亚道德”和不道德的标准划分,有助于深化对人类行为复杂性的认识,有助于社会利益的更好维护,因此,笔者认为,无论从应然角度还是实然角度,“亚道德”的提倡都有其合理的根据。

Whether sub-moral exists and should be advocated in special conditions, there are different viewpoints in ethics circles. In fact, when we judge the sub-moral actions, we cannot follow the logical way like either this or that, just like illegal acts can be divided into general violations against law and aggravated misconduct. The criterion of sub-moral and immorality can deepen our cognition of the complexity of human being actions and it can be helpful to safeguard the people's interests. So the author hold whether from the angle of “ought” or from the angle of “being”, the advocation of sub-moral has its own reasonable basis.
