析传统道德理念的等级性

等级性是中国传统道德理念的基本内涵之一，在这一等级性的道德形态中，伦理规范的基本功能和根本目的，是明尊卑、别贵贱，道德资源归优势地位者垄断，道德标准是双重的甚至是不确定的。等级性伦理由“五伦”特别是“三纲”集中体现出来，而且是在最温和、最理想的设计中体现出来。由等级理念和相应的社会、文化所制约，传统伦理道德中某些非等级性因素，也跳不出等级框架，反而处处带上等级性色彩。改造旧理念，是传统伦理道使走向现代形态的关键。

An Analysis of The Hierarchy of Traditional Moral Concept

Hierarchy is an essential concept of Chinese traditional ethics in which the distinction of the noble and the humble turns out to be the basic function and purpose of it. The high class monopolizes morality so that moral criteria appear unstable and double-sided. Hierarchy gets distinctly reflected in the five cardinal relationships, especially the three cardinal relationships that seem to be the mildest and the most ideal design. Even some non-hierarchical factors can not restrain from the influence of hierarchy due to hierarchical concept and relevant society and culture. Alternation of the old concept is the critical point of modernizing traditional ethics.
