人类共同伦理何以可能——不同伦理传统之间对话的共同场域

How Is Human Common Ethics Possible:The Common Fields of the Dialogue between the Different Ethical Traditions

人类共同伦理的建构之所以遭遇困难,从理论上来说,是由于不同伦理传统之间的对话缺乏应有的观念层级区分。具体来说,不论是形而下的伦理规范及制度层级的对话、还是形而上的信仰及伦理原则层级的对话,都不可能达成共同伦理。这就需要通过厘清观念层级,进入到当代人类共同生活的本源情境之中,以此为对话各方的共同场域,从而使不同伦理展开平等对话成为可能。

Why is it difficult of us to construct the common ethics of human beings？ In theory,the main cause is that the dialogues between the different traditional ethics are short of making a necessary distinction in the gradations of ideas. Specifically,the human beings can＇t reach a consensus on the common ethics,neither in the ethical norms and institution nor in the ethical principle and the belief of metaphysics. So we should clarify the gradations of ideas in the ethics and get into the circumstances of contemporary life of all mankind. Then the contemporary life,as the common fields of each side,could offer a possibility to make the equal dialogues between all kinds of ethics.
