论伦理相对主义与伦理绝对主义

On Ethical Relativism and Absolutism

伦理相对主义与伦理绝对主义是人类思想史上特别是西方伦理思想史上两种重要的致思取向。伦理相对主义强调道德的特殊性、不确定性、暂时性,伦理绝对主义则强调道德的普遍性、确定性、永恒性。二者之间存在着相互依存、相互背离的张力。廓清二者的复杂关系,有助于我们对当代社会伦理学的研究和现实道德的建设。

Ethical relativism and absolutism are two important tendencies in Human, especially Western ideological history. Ethical relativism emphasizes ethical specialty, uncertainty and temporality, whereas ethical absolutism focuses on ethical universality, certainty, and immutability. They depart from each other and rely on each other,however. Understanding the relationship between them,it will help us to do better in modern social ethical research and to construct realistic ethic.
