中国传统伦理思想中,以主静、内求为特征,这是由于中国特定的经济、政治、地理、文化等因素所致的,其影响至今存在。西方伦理思想以主动、外求为特征,突出个人本位主义,自古希腊古罗马时代就已形成传统,现代社会更为突出,这也是和西方的经济、政治、文化等分不开的。中国和西方的不同的道德观各有不同的渊源,对此进行深入研究有利于指导社会主义道德建设。 China’s traditional ethical thinking is characterized by the primary and secondary internal demands. This is due to the specific economic, political, geographical and cultural factors in China and its impact so far exists. Western ethical thinking is characterized by initiative and seeking and individual individualism. Since ancient times in ancient Rome, Greece has become a tradition, and modern society is more prominent. This is also inseparable from the economic, political and cultural aspects of the West. Different moral concepts in China and the West have different origins, and further research on this will help to guide the socialist moral construction.
