荀子说过,人伦道德乃为人之本,“为人,人也;舍之,禽兽也”。唐朝思想家李翔说: “人之于万物,一物也,其所以异于禽兽虫鱼者,岂非道德之性乎哉?”由此看来,为德与否,或有德与否,实关乎为人与否,或有否人性的根本问题。人类从来就把有德性的生活或生活的道德当成了人生不可或缺的内涵,从而创造了自身绵延不息的美德生活传统。 古人云: “百行以德为首。”雨果有句 Xunzi said that human ethics is the foundation of mankind, “human beings, human beings; homes, beasts also.” Li Xiang, a thinker in the Tang dynasty, said: “People are equal to all things and things are different from beasts and worms. It is a matter of fundamental or not human nature. Mankind has always regarded the virtue of life or the morality of life as an indispensable connotation of life, thus creating its own endless tradition of virtuous life.
