构建和谐社会是一个系统工程,在伦理学上的努力就是进行公共道德的建设。而在今日,中国公共道德的最主要体现形式就是公民道德,所以,应当加强公民道德的建设。公民道德不同于传统的私人道德,它可以唤起社会成员的共同利益感,培育我们社会的共识和交往理性,为和谐社会的建立铺垫思想基础。 Building a harmonious society is a systematic project, and ethical efforts are to build public morality. Today, the most important form of public morality in China is civic morality. Therefore, the construction of civic morality should be strengthened. Civic morality is different from traditional private morality. It can arouse the common sense of interest of members of society, cultivate the consensus of our society and the communicative rationality, and pave the way for the establishment of a harmonious society.
