商品簡介 |
A
link running through many of the essays in this volume is between evolutionary
biology and Chinese ethics. Since the 1960s and 1970s, within the fields of
biology,psychology, and neurology are findings that advance our knowledge of
how the mind functions, with special attention to social behavior. Donald
Munro’s focus is on what this development means, narrowly for the study of
Confucian ethics, and broadly for Chinese contributions to any international
discussion of moral topics. The evolutionary scientists converge with mainstream
Confucians in affirming the existence of universal human social traits. There is
a human nature. They also share some important positions on the content of that
nature. The topic is inborn social tendencies that may predispose, but do not by
themselves determine actual behavior. Neither does biology tell us what moral
rules should be. Rather, it alerts us to how such information is relevant to
thinking about right and wrong. And accepting the biological fact of inborn
social traits leaves plenty of room for the impact of culture on ethical theory
and of individual choice on action. This the author shows in his first Ch’ien Mu
Lecture, “Two Kinds of Equality.” The volume provides some clues as to why
Confucianism has endured for so long and for what social policies are likely to
succeed in any culture.
