Abstract: What effect can technological progress have on morality? The Setback Standpoint goes that it will surely bring the setback of morality, while the Progress Standpoint goes that it will help the development of morality. Having looked into the two standpoints, we found that their conception of 'setback' and 'progress' are not in the same sense. If moral progress means the improvement of human heart and virtues, while moral setback refers to the deterioration of human heart and virtues, then technology can neither push forward the development morality nor set back the development of morality.

Key words: technology, morality, the Progress Standpoint, the Setback Standpoint, Moral setback, moral progress
