关系性价值观:“价值观间”的价值自觉

A Relational Value: Value Awareness of “Inter-values”

价值观的排他性和难以兼容性以及由此所导致的价值观之间的矛盾、分裂和冲突性质,也即"价值观间"问题,是我们的现实世界和当代社会所面临的最为深层和最为重大的挑战和危险之一。价值观所带来的冲突和风险需要价值观自身来调节和化解,为此,我们需要寻求一种协调价值观间关系的价值观;或者说,一种处理价值观之间关系的更高层面的价值观,即"关系性价值观"。尊重彼此自由、相互承认、社会正义是现代社会寻求"关系性价值观"的三个重要面向,它们从不同方面协调价值观之间的关系,对于现代社会的稳定与发展具有重大意义。

The exclusiveness and incompatibility of values and the consequent contradictions,disruptions and conflicts among them,that is,the issue of"inter-values",is one of the most deep-rooted and serious challenges and risks that we face in the reality and contemporary society.The conflicts and risks of values need to be regulated and resolved at the level of value.Therefore,we need a"relational value",a value that can harmonized different values,or,a high-level value that can coordinate different values.Mutual respect for freedom,mutual acknowledgement and social justice are the three important aspects that modern society seeks in a"relational value".They coordinate values from different angles and thus play a vital role in stabilizing and developing modern society.
