Abstract:

As a feeling of pain, moral anxiety comes from the special situation that a person fails to deal with. It is a person’s intuitive experience of and immediate response to moral uncertainty or uncertain morality. Based on the distinction of uncertain objects, moral anxiety includes normative anxiety （survival anxiety） and belief anxiety （existence anxiety）. In terms of the ultimate direction of uncertainty, moral anxiety is a moral way to reveal the ethical situation of a person’s freedom or self-limitation. The ethical healing of moral anxiety lies in tracing back the fact of human beings’ relational existence and the necessity of human’s value existence, rethinking human beings’ condition and reshaping human’s image in the connection of group, self, object and self.

Key words: moral anxiety, ethical nature, relationship healing
