A Confrontation of Philosophy and Confucianism:The Historic Turning Point of Traditional Chinese Ethics LI Zhi-min 2010(3): 42-48.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1411KB) ( )   The key character of traditional Chinese Confucianism lies in the fact that it contains a well organized system of ethics, which is the head and spirit of traditional Chinese knowledge systems. However, Western philosophy was introduced into China at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it soon took the place of Confucianism, being considered as the new head. Thus Chinese knowledge systems began to be basically westernized, and their ethical quality was lost gradually. The Western scholars can always go to their churches for the moral education after doing researches in the different fields of sciences, while Chinese scholars normally cannot. In fact, the deprivation of the moral qualities of Chinese knowledge systems casts much shadow of moral corruption on the academic circles in China, which has been testified by more and more cases in contemporary China. Therefore, it is without much doubt that modern Chinese knowledge systems should be reconstructed with the restoration of ethics as their head and spirit, while not necessarily to copy exactly whatever said in Confucianism.

Resurgence of Virtue and Education of Morality——On Requirement and Elicitation of Aristotle'sVirtue Theory to Revival of Virtue Ethics FANG De-zhi 2010(3): 63-68.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1399KB) ( )   The keystone of the Virtue Ethics' revival lies in the rejection to the Rules of Ethics, and offers the latter a virtue theory's “reduction” in its evaluation system to actions by giving the latter action's assessment a pre-moral evaluation's basis. Some contemporary representatives of Virtue ethicists are right to repel, to varying degrees, the metaphysics naturalism in Aristotle's virtue theory. To set up a theory of Virtue Ethics based on a certain unification containing Humanity, Virtue, and Nature all three toward the same, as well as embodying the meaning of life and that of nature toward the same is likely to offer a profound enlightenment requirement, which originates from Aristotle's naturalistic virtue theory, to the resurgence of Virtue Ethics and likely to point a new negative direction in the Ethics research.

Modern Ethics Based on the Life-world and Its Morphological Traits NIU Jun-mei 2010(3): 109-113.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1393KB) ( )   As the start point and the endpoint, the life-world interprets the value and significance of ethics radically.

The ethical returning to the life-world during 1960s-1970s not only prompts the shift of ethics' research focus to the real life-world, but also determines modern ethics' morphological traits of combining theories and practice, normative ethics and virtue ethics.
