论道德继承

On Moral Inheritance

道德是符合社会之理而维持社会存在的人的行为价值和规范。道德有一般与特殊之分,一般道德的抽象性和特殊道德的具体性决定了二者继承方法的选择,即前者抽象继承,后者批判继承。历史上积累的道德价值和道德规范是道德继承的对象,此对象无论采取何种表述方式,终究可以用语言或者文字的形式表述为一个道德命题。因此,道德继承实质上是对道德命题的继承。道德命题是以善恶价值为内容、对某一道德状况或某一道德要求用逻辑语言所作的判断和陈述。它通常包括形式的或者逻辑的层面和实际的或者经验的层面,前者表征其一般意义,后者表征其特殊意义。理论上,前者采用抽象继承法,后者采用批判继承法,但实际上二者密不可分。因此,现实生活中的道德继承需兼顾两面,即采用"一体两面相结合"的道德继承模式。

Ethics is the values and norms of human behavior which fits the society logos to maintain the existing of society.There are two types of morality,namely the general and the special,which decides to the specific choice of the inheritance methods.The former needs abstract inheritance,and the latter needs critical inheritance.The historical moral values and ethics is the object of moral inheritance,no matter the way of expression,which can be written as a morality thesis in the form of language or words.Therefore,moral inheritance is essentially a succession of morality thesis.Morality thesis is the judgments and statements in logical language about the moral status or requirement which relates to the value of good and evil.It usually consists of the form level,namely the logic level,and the actual level,namely the experience level.The former researches the general meaning and the latter the special meaning.In theory,the former uses the way of abstract inheritance,and the latter uses the way of critical inheritance.But in fact,the two sides are inseparable.Therefore,moral inheritance actually should take the two sides into consideration,which is the pattern of 'Both Sides'.
