科技进步与道德进步

The Relationship between Technology Development and Ethics Improvement

启蒙学者们认为理性进步（即科技进步或知识进步）会导致道德进步，但启蒙思想中的唯理智主义倾向，导致了知识与德性的分离。这种分离导致了现代科技迅速进步与道德退化的巨大反差。迅速进步的科技与现代组织的结合使人类已具有可毁灭地球的强大力量，但人类的强大又永远不可能达到“上帝”的全智全能，这便使人类很可能因自己的强大而自毁。可见人类用发达的科技和市场整合而形成的强大力量必须以道德和智慧的法码去平衡。人类若想安全地生活在地球上，必须培养与自己强大力量相称的德性与智慧。

Thinkers in age of the Enlightenment think that progress of reason will bring about moral progress, but intellectualism contained by the Enlightenment mentality makes knowledge and virtue divorced. The consequence of the divorce is the rapid progress of science and technology and the backward of morality. The combination of modern science and technology and the modern organization give human beings a strong enough power to destroy the earth, but human beings can never get God's omnipotence. This makes it possible that human beings might destroy themselves just because they are too powerful. Human beings must foster their morality+ and wisdom to guide their using of the power. Human beings must have their virtues and wisdom to regulate their power to live on the earth safely.
