摘要
常人道德是道德生活中一种普遍而经常存在的道德行为类型和道德境界层次。它既不是道德上超凡脱俗的圣贤或先进的“君子”,也不是见利忘义、损人利己的“小人”,而是处于二者之间的“中人”之性和“常人”之德。“常人道德”的特征主要体现为:第一,其行为特征既非应当,也非失当,而表现为正当。第二,其价值观是义利兼顾的;第三,其人己观是人我两利的;第四,其行为动机是追求权利与义务的对等统一。常人道德的存在是一种道德生活的常态真实存在。常人道德的义利统一、人己两利、权利与义务相统一是现代伦理精神的集中体现。常人道德是道德的中间层次与境界。研究常人道德并给予道德上的正面价值评价的意义在于有利于克服我们过去的那种善恶两极的对立道德思维方式,有利于真正实现权利与义务相统一的现代道德精神,有利于当代道德研究面向生活和民众,从而有利于建立与社会主义市场经济相适应的新道德观。
In the daily life, commons＇ morality is a universal behavioral mode and moral realm. Neither does it refer to transcendent Sages or Junzi, nor Xiaoren, who forgets friendship for profit and benefits oneself at other people＇s cost, but morals of ＂common people＂ between them. ＂Commons＇morality＂ equips with these features as follow： First, those behaviors performed shouldn＇t be valued through such languages as ＂Should＂ or ＂Shouldnl＂ , but through ＂ Right＂ and the like; Second, it takes unity of Yi and Li as its basic view of value; Third, during dealing with social relationships, it emphasizes Win- win each other; Last, it always looks upon unity of right and duty as its behavioral motivation. In fact, commons＇morality prevailing in society should be an authentic moral phenomenon. Those principals like unity of Yi and Li, of right and duty, Win - win between self- other, all embody modern ethical spirit. Consequently, paying attentions to commons＇moral, we can gradually conquer past Binary mode of thinking, namely to estimate behaviors by words either good or evil, and begin to face daily life itself. As a result, a new moral view, which satisfies demands of market economy of socialist, would be established in the future.
