论社会学视域中的道德内化

Moral Internalization from a Sociological Perspective

从社会学的视域,能够更加全面、清晰地了解道德内化,更深层次理解道德内化对于个体的深刻意蕴,对于社会发展与进步的重要意义。一方面,社会给予个体身份,使其必须进行群体认同的道德内化;另一方面,个体需要道德内化,并进而最终获得社会系统的归属感。对于个体来说,道德内化能够深化个体道德认同,激发主体道德行为;统整道德知情意行,提升个体道德素养;协助个体自我反思,促进个体自我调节。对于社会来说,道德内化可以建立社会归属纽带,加强个体与社会联结;维持社会运转秩序,形塑社会道德氛围;形成良好道德风尚,促进社会正向发展。对于整个社会形成共同的价值观来说,道德内化是完全必要的,其帮助人们基于共同的行为准则,界定属于自身的、符合社会规范的道德认知,从而涵养自身道德情感,锤炼道德意志,最终转化为道德行为,实现道德内化质的飞跃。

From a sociological perspective,understanding moral internalization becomes more comprehensive and clearer,allowing for a deeper comprehension of its profound implications for individuals and its significant importance for social development and progress.On the one hand,society grants individuals identities,compelling them to undergo moral internalization for group identification.On the other hand,individuals need moral internalization to ultimately gain a sense of belonging within the social system.Moral internalization can deepen individuals’moral identification,stimulating moral behavior;integrate moral knowledge,emotions,intentions,and actions,enhancing individual moral cultivation;assist individuals in self reflection,promoting self regulation;establish social bonds,strengthening individual social connections;maintain social operational order,shaping the moral atmosphere of society;and foster a positive moral ethos,promoting the positive development of society.For the formation of common values across society,moral internalization is necessary.It helps people define their own moral cognition that conforms to social norms based on common behavioral guidelines,thus nurturing their moral emotions,honing their moral will,and ultimately transforming into moral behavior,achieving a qualitative leap in moral internalization.
