摘要: 随着virtue ethics在西方的复兴,越来越多的学者开始以virtue ethics格儒家伦理之义。儒家美德伦理,依其理想形态,应当使儒家伦理与virtue ethics互济不足,相与启发,使两种起源上异质的伦理获得新的发展,从而对世界哲学有所助益。借助儒家伦理与西方思想的对话,可以论证在人性论问题上“是”与“当”一气贯下,人性能够决定人应当如何生活,人性论能够为美德伦理奠基。

Abstract: There is a tendency to interpret Confucian ethics from the perspective of virtue ethics since its revival in the West. However, this paper suggests that Confucian virtue ethics, in its ideal form, should be a creative synthesis of Western virtue ethics and Confucian ethics as well. Then, after taking a close examination on the entry of “ethics” in Encyclopedia Britannica written by Peter Singer, the paper ventures three arguments against his critiques on virtue ethics. Finally, it argues that there is no gap of IsOught concerning human nature and consequently a theory of human nature can provide an ontological foundation for virtue ethics.
