进化论、认知科学与道德原则的形成

Evolution,Cognitive Science and Formation of Moral Principles

生物学自然主义以不同于传统的超越主义伦理学的进路对道德原则的形成进行了探讨。进化论为其提供了经验基础;认知科学为其提供了科学证据;来自经济学的实验则对自然选择下的利他何以可能的问题进行了分析。在此基础上,论证了道德原则形成的神经生物学基础,说明了自然主义进路的可行性。

Biological naturalism is different from the traditional transcendental approach to forma-tion of the moral principles, for which, the theory of evolution provides the basis of the experience, and cognitive science provides scientific evidence. Economic experiments analyze why altruism is possible under natural selection. On the basis, the neurobiological base of formation of moral principles is argued, and the feasibility of the naturalistic approach is illus trated.
