底线伦理:构建社会主义和谐社会的道德基础

Bottom-line Ethics:the Moral Basis of Constructing Socialist Harmonious Society

底线伦理是人人都应当遵守的最起码的社会规范伦理,它与美德伦理是相对的范畴,是社会主义和谐社会的伦理道德基础。当前社会存在一些底线伦理缺失和社会失范现象,在构建社会主义和谐社会的大背景中,必须充分认识底线伦理与社会主义和谐社会的道德化诉求之间的关系,其中民主法治体现了底线伦理的内在要求,公平正义反映了底线伦理的价值取向,诚信友爱彰显了底线伦理的基本精神,人与自然和谐相处体现了底线伦理的本真意义。

Bottom-line ethics is the basic social ethics that everybody should abide by. Standing in contrast to virtue ethics, it is the ethical and moral basis of harmonious socialist society. In the present society, we are seeing a lot of moral decline and loss of bottomline ethics. To construct a harmonious socialist society, we should fully realize the relationship between bottom-line ethics and moral appeal. Democracy and the rule of law represent the inherent requirement of bottom-line ethics; equity and justice reflect the value orientation of bottom-line ethics; honesty, trustworthiness and fraternity materialize the essential spirit of bottom-line ethics, while the harmonious coexistence of man and nature embodies the true meaning of bottom-line ethics.
