Contract Ethics and Ethical Choice:An Interdisciplinary Reflection on Ethical Literary Criticism
As a profoundly influential ethical type,contract ethics not only lays the foundation for the practical ethical order,but also forms a coherent tradition of ethical writing.The literary writing of contract ethics indicates a close connection between contract ethics and the dual implications of ethical choice:when ethical choice is a specific choice activity,contract ethics affects the ethical choices of writers and characters through various factors,such as ethical identity,ethical relationships,and ethical order.Through their ethical choices,the works convey their unique humanistic thinking,which in turn promote the construction,optimization,and reshaping of realistic contract ethics.When ethical choices refer to the developmental phases of human civilization,contract ethics,as the regulatory and driving mechanism of scientific ethics,plays an important role in the"post-ethical selection era"that undergoes constant transformations.Given the characteristics of its literary representation and theory,contract ethics can be addressed as an issue for the interdisciplinary research on Ethical Literary Criticism,which will advance,to some extent,theoretical expansion and practical dissemination of Ethical Literary Criticism.
