亚里士多德的德性论

Aristotle's Theory on Virtue

亚里士多德的德性论是西方德性伦理的源头 ,它对伦理学的重大贡献就在于 :一方面他坚持了道德的理性本质 ,反对道德学说中的反理性倾向 ,另一方面 ,在道德问题上他却不是诉诸“建构理性” ,而是主张一种“教化理性” ,即与情感感受、行为相交融的理性 ,认为在道德上 ,理智德性表现在它能为行为提供正确的原理 ,能进行实践的思考、推理、谋划 ;

Aristotle's theory on virtue is the source of western virtuous ethics, and its contribution to ethics lies in that Aristotle insists on the rational nature of morality and opposes the irrational tendency of some moral doctrines on the one hand and he does notgo with moral problems after the manner of 'constructional reason'but of the 'reason of education', the reason involving feelings and actions and he thinks that the virtue of understanding can offer the right principle for our behavior and contemplate on how to act, while ethical virtue is the feeling's mean and the adequacy in behavior which come from the edification of the customs on the other hand.
