论科学理性与德性伦理之间的张力——关于大卫·克希霍夫尔人格尊严多维模型的分析

The Tension Between Scientific Rationality and Virtue Ethics:On David Kirchhoffer's the Component Dimensions of Human Dignity Model

人格尊严作为一个道德文化概念,尽管其定义始终处于争议之中,但努力方向几乎是一致的,都力求达成必要的共识理解,大卫·克希霍夫尔也不例外。他认识到了人格尊严内含的复杂性和丰富性,立足存在意义、认知-情感、行为构成和社会构成四个维度建构了一个多维模型,从描述和规范两个方面搭建了人格尊严的理解框架,揭示了科学理性与人格尊严之间的微妙关系,但同时也遗留了一些道德实践难题,无法从根本上跨越科学理性与德性伦理的鸿沟。

As a moral concept in culture, the definition of human dignity is always in dispute, but the main effort is almost consistent, that is, to try to reach the consensus. David Kirchhoffer is no exception. He realizes the complexity and richness of human dignity and constructs a multi - dimensional model on four component dimenslons： the existential, the cognitive - affeetive, the behavioral, and the social, which builds the understanding framework of human dignity from descriptive category and normative criterion. And it shows the subtle relationship between moral norms and scientific rationality. Of course, there are still some paradoxical moral issues. It is hard to cross the gap between scientific rationality and virtue ethics.
