道德内化中的主体张扬

Subjects in Morality Internalization

当今的社会道德与个体道德之间存在着一种紧张关系,要化解这种紧张关系,就必须使社会道德转化为个体道德并成为个体的价值观念和行为准则,而个体道德作为社会道德的内化,它不是被动吸纳既定的社会道德规范,而是能动地选择、建构个体道德系统,充分体现了个体道德建构的主体性;它不是一蹴而就,而是需要终生努力的事业;它不是既成不变,而是随着主客观条件的改变而变化。所以,道德内化的主体张扬过程就必然内含着道德创新机理,从社会方面看,即要给个体道德活动以充分的自由权利;从个体自身方面看,个体只有具备相应的道德建构能力,才能有力推进社会道德向个体道德的转化,从而实现道德自律。

The internalization of social morality is not a process of passive acceptance of the established social moral norms; rather, it is an active process of system construction, along with selections, a process that could fully reveal the subjectivity of the individual in question. But this could not be done at one stroke： it is a life-long cause. And it is not something stable, but changes with the changes of the subjective and objective conditions. Therefore, the internalization process implies a mechanism for morality creation.
