传统伦理学的几个主要理论方向都带有某种以道观之的倾向。规范论、德性论和元伦理学对伦理学都做出了各自富有特色的理论表述。如何使传统伦理学的不同理论倾向得到统一，真正从人性发展需要的角度激活传统伦理学，为人们的伦理实践提供切实的指导，必须探寻伦理学的话语转向。具体形上学理论蕴含着丰富的哲学理论创新。其以事观之的理论视角为当代伦理学的话语转向提供了很好的理论资鉴。从以道观之转向以事观之，可以在人之做事的层面为当代伦理学找到理论和实践落实的具体路径。

All of the dominating theoretical directions of traditional ethics take a perspective of the Dao. Normative theory, virtue theory and meta-ethics have made their own distinctive theories of ethics. To unify the different theoretical tendencies of traditional ethics, truly activate traditional ethics from the perspective of human development needs, and provide practical guidance for people’s ethical practice, we must explore the discourse turn of ethics. The theory of concrete metaphysics contains rich philosophical innovations. Its perspective of human affairs has provided an invaluable theoretical inspiration for the discourse turn of contemporary ethics. From the perspective of the Dao to the perspective of human affairs, we can find a specific path to implement the theory and practice of contemporary ethics at the level of people’s doing things.
