文明失范、道德腐败与常德缺位

近20年来，关于道德滑坡问题一直论争不休。我们认为，笼统谈论道德滑坡并不准确，譬如在政治道德领域中便有大的进步。但社会公德失范现象日益严重却是不争的事实，否则，我们便无法解释各类腐败现象正向纵深蔓延的现实。当下紧迫的问题已不是如何描述评价这一道德危机现状，而是探寻造成文明失范、道德腐败的根源，寻求有效的道德药方。恰恰在这一点上，既往伦理学由于其自身理论黑洞或盲区，难以对症下药，而以倡导传统美德为旨归的道德建设努力更是归于无效，这些客观上都加剧了道德失范的局面。因此，尽快填补“黑洞”，走出“盲区”，寻求公德建设的合理路径，是当前伦理学面临的迫切任务。

On the Civilization Abnormality, Moral Corruption and Absence of Constant Virtue

In the recent 20 years,moral degeneration has been a hot topic for argument.We hold that it is not appropriate to say that moral degeneration is the order of the day.For instance,in the field of political morality,there has been much progress.However,it is also true that public morality is getting ever worse,without the light of which,we cannot explain the current wide-spread corrupted phenomena.Today,the urgent job is not to describe and appraise the situation of moral crisis,but to find out the origin of civilization abnormality and moral corruption and seek an effective moral remedy.And it is in this point that the previous ethics,owing to its own thoretical black hole or blind spot,failed to give a solution,and the moral construction which advocated traditional virtues ended in faliure,which accelerated the situation of immorality.Therefore,to patch up the "black hole" and get out of the "blind spot",and seek a reasonable way for the construction of public morality is the impending task of present-day ethics.
