论良心本质的转换

On the Transformation of Essence of Conscience

作为"公心"的良心,其本质就在于符合社会道德规范。在不同性质的社会,由于社会实践方式和社会道德规范的不同,人们会因之而具有不同的良心观,良心本质也因之而不同。从古到今,良心本质在中国人的观念里发生了一个转换,尽管良心这个概念依旧,但是其本质已经发生了变化。

As a ＂public heart＂ ,the essence of conscience is in accord with the social moral standard. In different societies, because the modes of social praxis and the social moral standards are different, people have different views of conscience, and the essence of conscience are also different. From ancient times to the present, the essence of conscience has undergone a transformation in the concept of the Chinese people. Although the concept of conscience doesn＇t change,its essence has changed.
