伦理学与话语体系--如何再写“中国伦理学”

Ethics and Its Discourse:How to Rewrite “Chinese Ethics”?

"中国伦理学"是一文化特殊性概念。它立足中华民族的生活世界,以中华民族的运思与认知方式,用中华民族的语言概念,围绕普遍问题,揭示普遍之理。今天要努力探究与揭示的"古今通理",一定不是宗法等级礼制秩序的,而是当今人类文明主潮流的。没有统一的"中国伦理学",它是复数的。百花齐放、百家争鸣、富有个性地书写;站在时代的高度,基于自身历史现实,当今"中国伦理学"才会有属于这个时代的自己的"话语体系"。书写有生命力的当今中国伦理学理论应坚持区分"实然"与"应然",坚持道德价值标准的客观确定性,坚持"伦理"与"道德"、心灵秩序与生活秩序的统一,坚持既有中国问题意识又有人类情怀。

"Chinese ethics" is a concept with cultural specialty.Based on the life world of Chinese people,it takes advantage of Chinese language and Chinese ways of thinking and knowing.However,it should reveal universal principles in universal issues.The principles valid both in ancient and modern times that we explore and reveal are certainly not about the ritual hierarchy in a patriarchal clan system,but are consistent with the mainstream of human civilization today.Chinese ethics should be in a plural rather than simple form.Chinese ethics should be written with various personal characteristics.Only at the forefront of the age and based on the reality can Chinese ethics today create its own discourse of the time.In order to write a vital Chinese ethics of the time,we should insist on the distinction between "what it is" and "what it should be",the objective certainty of the standard of moral values,the unity of ethics and morality,that of mind order and life order,and that of China in particular and human beings as a whole.
