Title:
Active Morality versus Passive Morality: The Differential Emergence of Moral Imperatives
Abstract:
As a social ideology and a code of conduct and norms for people to live together, morality has shifted its exploration paradigm from the ultimate question of ""how individuals should lead to a happy life"" to the social law of ""what kind of moral rules a person should obey"". It is worth noting that there is a tension between Kant's moral judgments and the moral reasoning of Chinese style ethics. When we attempt to examine moral principles, we must recognize the fundamental shift that intersubjectivity may cause in the evaluation perspective, and avoid consequentialist simplifications. At the same time, we must value the significant role of moral principles in practical applications, recognize the difference between active morality and passive morality, and use an intersubjective moral principle to reconstruct and reflect on moral principles.
