道德行动作为社会资本,道德思想作为文化资本(节译)

Moral Action as Social Capital,Moral Thought as Cultural Capital

道德思想/理性和道德行动是两个分离的现象,其差别类似于社会资本和文化资本。社会资本立足于合作、信任以及通向面对各种现实社会问题的有针对性的解答,而文化资本则充当一种速记符号,表示特定个体应当被视为一个持续发展的社群(community)中被接纳的成员。道德行动是一种形式,一个社会资本的发生源,而道德思想是许多社会群体中文化资本的一种重要形式。道德行动和道德思想之间的差别能够导致社会张力,比如二者中哪一个更有价值,教育对二者应当如何解读。约翰·杜威曾经指出,道德维系于对社群中各种问题的解决过程的积极参与,故而应当被纳入到日常的教学活动中。从文化资本的角度来理解道德的人士往往把道德视为一组稳定的、通过代际传承的社会价值。

Moral thought/reasoning and moral actions are actually two separate phenomena,whose differences run parallel to the distinction between social capital and cultural capital -where social capital is based on cooperation and trust and leads to purposeful solutions to real time social problems and cultural capital serves as a shorthand sign that certain individuals should be recognized as accepted members of an ongoing community.Moral action is actually a form and an originating source of social capital and moral thought is an important form of cultural capital in many social groups.The differences between moral action and moral thought can lead to social tensions-including which is more valuable and how each should be approached in terms of education.John Dewey suggested that morality is tied to active engagement in the solving of a community＇s problems and should be integrated into the everyday activities of the classroom.Those who view morality through more of a cultural capital lens often times see morality as a stable set of social values transmitted between generations.
