“发展”的伦理涵义解析

An Analysis of the Ethical Implication of "Development"

当前发展伦理研究中关于"发展"的伦理涵义的考察,有三条进路:对经验的事实的归纳性表述;从某一或某些具体问题的反思出发而达到伦理上的突破;一种广义视角的综合。它们都无法保证"发展"的伦理涵义的普遍必然性,这要求我们必须从"发展"概念本身来阐明它的伦理涵义,这是发展伦理研究的一个基础性和前提性论证。我们会发现,必须给"发展"加上一些限定条件,它才具有伦理涵义。

In general, there are three different approaches insofar as the investigation of the ethical implication of ＂development＂ is concerned in current study of the subject： First, there is an inductive one based on empirical facts. Secondly, there is one that starts with a reflection on some concrete issues in hope of a breakthrough in ethics. Lastly there is a synthetic one with a broad perspective. Yet none of these current approaches can guarantee the universal necessity of the ethical implication of ＂development＂ and therefore we are compelled to clarify its ethical implication by means of considering the concept of ＂development＂ per se. This is the foundation of the ethical study of ＂development＂. We will discover that it is only with some restrictive conditions that the concept of ＂development＂ can take on ethical meaning.
