Intelligence, courage, moderation and justice werethe major four virtues for citizens to have. In middle ages, being scarce of the soil for citizens and civic morality to grow up, the society created submissive subjects and cultivated subjective morality, which were deeply affected by christian theology . In modern times, the citizenship theory broke through the limits of citizenship in ancient Greece and Rome and the connotation of the citizenship expanded greatly. The thinkers of bourgeoise came up with bourgeoise' morality to adapt to the development of capitalism, which was of falsity in a certainsense.

Key words: west, citizen, civil morality

摘要： 古希腊罗马时期的公民是享有政治和经济特权的少数人,智慧、勇敢、节制和正义是公民应具备的“四主德”;中世纪缺乏公民与公民道德生长的土壤,社会造就的是谦卑温顺的臣民及深受基督教神学影响的臣民道德;17、18世纪的公民理论突破了古希腊罗马时期公民资格的狭隘性,公民的内涵大大拓展,资产阶级思想家们提出了与资本主义发展相适应的公民道德,但资产阶级公民道德理论也具有一定的虚伪性。
