后现代性与公德困境三题

Three Issues of Post-modernity and Plight of Social Morality

后现代生活对道德基础和本质的解构,导致社会外在规范力量的弱化,形成一种前所未有的价值定向危机;作为道德生活之最高的责任感,也变得离我们越来越疏远。安顿人类的理想、信念和精神生活,使它不再四海漂泊、无所归依,必须关注"他者"的存在和命运。"他者"不仅是个人存在的必要条件,更是生活意义和价值的源泉。如果能够站在"他者"的高度,对人类和非人类的命运给予高度沉思,也许人们能够走出当前精神生活的困境,给自己的生存乃至生活找到新的出路。

Deconstruction of moral foundations and nature from the post-modernity life has resulted in the diminishing of social norms of external forces ,forming an unprecedented value orientation crisis;responsibility as the highest moral sense has also become more and more alienated from us. To settle human values, ideals and moral life and to keep it no longer wandering about, we must be concerned about the others＇ existence and fate. The ＂other＂ is not only individual＇ s necessary condition for the existence, but also the life meaning and valuable source. Giving a deep thought to human and non-human fate could help people get out of the spiritual life trouble and find new ways for survival and life of themselves.
