本文通过对两个“问题”的分析 ,说明现代经济学不能仅仅以自利最大化为其单一的理论论证目标。以自利为目的的单纯的经济价值观念是造成现代道德危机以及经济与道德之间的价值紧张的根源。本文力求揭示经济伦理对现代社会多元价值取向的积极意义 ,苏格拉底问题即始终关注人类的存在问题 ,在现代社会仍具有根本意义。 Through the analysis of the two “problems”, this paper shows that modern economics can not just maximize the self-interest as its single theoretical argument. The mere economic value concept of self-interest is the root cause of the crisis of modern morality and the value tension between economy and morality. This article seeks to reveal the positive significance of economic ethics to the multi-value orientation of modern society. The issue of Socrates has always been concerned with the existence of human beings and still has its fundamental significance in modern society.
