孟子的道德思想走的是纯粹内向证求之路,从人的内心亲证善端,并以推扩内在善端的方式来涵养美德,而不是把规范作为前提,充分体现了以行为主体的道德品质作为思考重心的美德伦理学特征。孟子的美德伦理思想是成体系的,并且其理论内部是自洽的,对我们当代美德伦理学的构建有着重要的借鉴意义。 Mencius’s moral thoughts take the path of pure inward introspection, prove the good ends from the human heart, and contain virtues rather than the preconditions, which fully embodies the moral Virtue Ethics as the Focus of Thinking. Mencius’s virtuous ethical thought is a systematic one, and his theory is self-consistent, which is of important reference to the construction of our contemporary virtue ethics.
