论美好生活的道德哲学向度

On the Moral Philosophy Dimension of a Better Life

美好生活作为一个描述性命题,本质上是一个价值判断,一如快乐和幸福那样,似乎难以量化,更难以取得科学意义上的一致同意。但这并不排除人们在对美好生活的理解上取得共识,产生共同感、共通感。依照道德哲学的理解,美好生活相关于三种之善,即身体之善、外在之善和灵魂之善。而在实现美好生活的具体方式上,可有由外到内和由内到外两种路向。道德哲学向度上的美好生活则着眼于主体间的善和主体自身的善两种,缺少了或缺失了善的维度,美好生活便是初级的、不完整的。

According to the understanding of moral philosophy, good life is related to three kinds of good, namely the goodness of the body, the external goodness and the goodness of the soul. In the specific way to achieve a better life, there are two paths from the outside to the inside and from the in side to the outside. The good life of moral philosophy focuses on the goodness between the subject and the goodness of the subject itself. The lack of or the lack of goodness is good, and the good life is pri mary and incomplete.
