佛教伦理与现代文明

普世伦理要以宗教伦理为其哲学基础,宗教伦理的核心理念是终极关怀,即超越各种差别,实现人与人、人与社会、人与自然的大融合。而在当下阶级对立、民族矛盾、制度差异、文化多元的背景下,要建立一种哪怕是最低限度的普世伦理,这在世俗伦理学来讲,有些勉为其难。而佛教伦理,以它特有的终极关怀,能实现人与人、人与万物的沟通与融合,成为拯救文明的一种选择。

Buddhist ethics and modern civilization

Global ethics should regard religious ethics as its philosophical foundation. The core of religious ethics is the ultimate concern, which is namely a realization of integration of humans, human with society, human with nature, surmounting various differences. At present, in a situation with class contradictions, nationality conflicts, system differences and multi-cultures, it is difficult to establish an ethics with a minimum sense of being global, even for mundane ethics. Buddhist ethics, with its peculiar ultimate concern, can become an ideal option for civilization.
