摘要
本文按照进化心理学的方法,对道德起源这一道德哲学的重大问题加以考察。分三个部分。第一部分考察历史上解释道德起源的“宗教说”和“习俗说”,指出它们的不足之处。第二部分考察韦斯特马克在《道德观念的起源和发展》中提出的具有重大理论价值、但被人长期忽视的解释,并指出其中的困难。第三部分在韦斯特马克的解释的基础上,提出作者自己的解释。
From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, the paper discusses the origin of morality as a key issue of moral philosophy from the following three aspects: 1. a historical study of its 'religious origin' and 'custom origin' and their weaknesses; 2. an examination of the significant but long ignored theory in Westermarck's The Origin and Development of Moral Ideas as well as its short comings; 3. the author's new interpretation based on Westermarck's interpretation.
