The Difference Between Civilization and Barbarism:How Can Modern Ethics Become the Way of Human Civilization?
Modern ethics can truly express the way of moral existentialism on the basis of universal human nature,natural law,individual freedom,scientific rationality and the rights of public and private interests in the world of human secularized life,and thus become the direction of universal civilization.However,no matter the humanism movement,the religious reform movement and the Enlightenment movement,they all promote a kind of morality,thus elevating this special morality to the"only"ethical basis,and in the process of becoming the"order of the word",they all lead to the barbarism of culture and even the common war,which is a kind of self-concealing of ethical good.The difference between civilization and barbarism of ethics is a phenomenon inevitably caused by the normative validity of good and its self-concealment.How to solve this contradiction is a serious problem proposed by the history of ethics for the development of human civilization.
