他者视域中的中国伦理范式转型研究——以“诚信”范畴的内涵嬗变为例

A Study of Paradigm Turn in Chinese Ethics in Horizon of the Other——With Example of the Evolutive Connotations of "Honesty" Category

中国伦理的范式转型已成为当代学界的共识,而一种伦理范式的真正确立最终依赖于自身规范基础的阐明与辩护。其中,"诚信"作为中国传统道德和现代伦理的共有范畴,其内涵及其形上哲学基础经历了从本体到主体乃至他者伦理的嬗变。在我与他者的伦理关系成为当代伦理学关切的核心对象时,以诚信范畴为依托,从他者视域管窥中国伦理范式的建构与转换,不仅有利于诠释传统伦理的后现代内涵,同时也为当代中国诚信体系的建构奠定了范式平台。

Though a paradigm turn in Chinese ethics has been consensus of the academic community, final establishment of the new paradigm relies on expounding and defenses of its own norm foundations. And as a category common to traditional Chinese morality and modern ethics, ＂honesty＂ has undergone in its connotation and metaphysical foundation an evolution from as the ontology to as the subject and then to as the other. In the context of contemporary ethics where the ethic relation between the self and the other is the core concern, a sight into the construction of and the turn in Chinese ethical paradigm through a horizon of the other based on the investigation of ＂honesty＂ will not only benefit the interpretation of the post-modern connotation of traditional ethics but also set a paradigm platform for building a Chinese ethical system of honesty.
