On the Natural Endowment in Children's Moral Development and Its Implications on Education
Moral emotions play an important role in moral education,that can strengthen moral cognition and provide spiritual guidance for moral practice.Based on the ontological understanding of moral emotions,it is found that Kant's idea of natural endowment has a certain degree of similarity with his understanding.Children possess the intellectual emotion of"respect",which is directly de-fined by Kant as a"moral emotion".It can serve as a clear natural endowment in children's moral development,driving them to firmly adhere to their innate moral laws.Kant's natural endowment theory can enrich the ontological understanding of moral emotions,that is,children's moral emo-tions are not only manifested based on postnatal social moral norms,but also contain primitive ele-ments of nature.Children are not born moral heartless,but"respect"innate moral laws.In moral ed-ucation,it is necessary to draw on the beneficial part of the natural endowment idea,discover the"secrets"of children's prior moral emotional world,and their innate"moral emotions"can lay the foundation for the cultivation of postnatal moral emotions,and enhance the identification of postnatal social moral norms,which is also an expansion on the basis of natural endowment.
