“平等”之道德立法原理新论

A New Inquiry on the Moral Legislation Principle of Equality

平等,是人类文明的内在道德立法原理。从蒙昧时期到野蛮阶段,自然主义平等充任着人类生活的普遍准则;国家诞生后,权力主义等级内平等充当着人类文明的内在道德立法原理;进入近代社会,等级平等原理被人人平等原理所取代,由此建立起人类中心主义的现代文明,这种文明制造了人与自然间的不平等。因此,当代人类应重建普遍平等之道德立法的价值尺度原理,这一普遍平等原理的内在本质是普遍利益权利;其存在论原则是自然平等、万物平等、生命平等;其生存论方向是人人存在人权平等和公民生存权利平等。

Equality is the internal principle of moral legislation for human civilization. From age of barbarism to uncivilized times, natural equality functioned as the internal moral served as the universal principle of human life. Once nations emerged, caste - ed equality legislation principle of ancient societies. After the industrial revolution, caste - ed equality was replaced by all man＇s equality. Thereupon, human- centered modem civilization was formed, which caused the inequality between man and the nature, and man＇s war against nature and that against man. Therefore, the value measurement principle of universal equality must be reconstructed. Its core essence is universal interests and rights; its principle of being is nature＇s equality, all things＇ equality and all lives＇ equality;its existential orientation is that all men should enjoy human rights and civil rights equally.
