摘要
科学能否解释道德?从科学主义视角分析,科学与伦理有关。科学解释道德是科学认识在人类社会生活领域中的一个投射,目的是更好地理解和确立人类的道德观念及行为。以达尔文主义和非达尔文主义为背景分析,可以得到如下结论:科学解释伦理道德的产生与人类的遗传进化紧密关联;道德信念可以通过生物学解释。随着科学的发展,科学能够完全单独解释道德,并且提供我们所面临的道德问题的答案。科学是惟一的解释道德行为、论证正确的道德行为的最重要的来源和依据。科学可以用来解释道德,但必须明了这种解释是有限的,不可决定和代替道德。
Can science interpret morality? Ethics is pertinent to science. To explain morality scientifically is to understand moral concept and behavior better, In view of Darwinism, the origin of morality is closely related to human hereditary evolution and biology can interpret morality. As it develops, science can interpret morality alone. Science can provide the only correct answer to the moral problems confronting us. But we should keep in mind that the interpretation has limitations and cannot decide or replace morality.
