北洋军阀统治时期国民道德状况探析

Chinese People's Morality under the Reign of Northern Warlords

北洋军阀是中国近代一支特殊的军事政治力量。在其统治中国的13年时间里,由于辛亥革命的余波及中国社会自身的内部变革,国民的道德观发生了巨大变化。伴随民国初期的社会进步,道德批判、道德重设、道德救亡成为人们关注的焦点。北洋军阀统治时期国民道德变革破除了传统封建伦理道德的绝对权威;民主与科学的加入加速了中国社会道德现代化的形成;它完善了社会道德理论和实践体系,更加有利于启发人们道德修养和实践的自觉性。同时它也呈现出政治化、启蒙性、思潮性、批判性、科学性、夸大性的特征,这些都是当时历史的产物。

Northern Warlords are a special military and political force in modern China. Great changes take place in Chinese people＇s morality under their 13-year reign owing to the influence of the Revolution of 1911 and China＇ s inner social change. With the social progress in the early years of the Republic, moral criticism, moral reconstruction and saving the nation through morality become the points at issue by the Chinese people. During this period,the change in people＇s morality leads to the overthrow of the absolute authoritativeness of feudal ethics, and the participation of democracy and science accelerates the formation of China＇ s social ethical modernization. The ethical revolution also helps to make the social morality system move towards perfection in theory and practice, and the situation is favourable for people＇ s conscientious cultivation and practice of morality. Meanwhile, the then morality presents its political, enlightening, temporal, critical, scientific and exaggeratory features,which result from the social realities.
