试析黑格尔哲学中的“道德”和“伦理”问题

The Problem of “Moralit?t”and “Sittlichkeit”in Hegel's Philosophy

黑格尔在《精神现象学》里面认为"道德"是一个比"伦理"更高级的精神形态,然而在《法哲学原理》里面又把"伦理"放在一个比"道德"更高的阶段。本文分析了黑格尔对于这两个概念的理解,以及这两个概念在黑格尔的不同文本中的定位,从而澄清了这个疑难。也就是说,从存在的角度看,"伦理"高于"道德",而从认识的角度看,"道德"高于"伦理"。

In his Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel claimed that ＂ moralitat＂ （morality） is a more advanced spiritual form than ＂ sittlichkeit＂ （ethics）. However in his Philosophy of Rights, he said conversely that ＂sittlichkeit＂ is a higher stage than ＂moralitat＂. This paper analyzes Hegel＇ s understanding of these two concepts and their positioning in his different texts, and tries to clarify this problem. That is to say, ＂ sittlichkeit＂ is higher than ＂ moralitat＂ from the ontological point of view, while ＂ moralitat＂ is higher than ＂sittlichkeit＂ from the epistemological perspective.
