女性伦理学的哲学意义

以关怀伦理为代表的女性伦理学,挑战着西方以正义伦理为代表的主流伦理学并对哲学乃至其他学科带来极大影响。但是,在西方学术背景与社会背景下,女性伦理学在享用西方后现代哲学理论成果的同时,也承负着哲学困境所带来的理论和实践上的难题。从中西哲学比较的视角来看女性伦理学,一方面中国文化或许能为西方女性伦理学的发展提供更为合理的理论与实践基础;一方面也为当今世界哲学观念的转变、哲学方向的发展提供富有启发意义的思考。

The Philosophical Significance of Feminist Ethics

Feminist ethics which pay attention to the issue of care is now a challenge to the west mainstream ethics which focuses on justice, and it impacts greatly on philosophy and the whole humanities as well. But feminist ethics, using the weapon of post-modernism, faces its own difficulties theoretically and practically. Observing feminism from a perspective of comparison between the Chinese philosophy and the Western philosophy, we found that, on the one hand, the Chinese culture might provide a more reasonable basis for resolving the difficulties faced by feminist ethics; on the other hand, it even provides some suggestive thinking on the transformation of the notion of philosophy as such, hence to push philosophy ahead.
