Why is self-control a virtue?—The occurrence,evolution and value of self-control from the perspective of virtue ethics
The problem of self-control is the basic problem to reflect,criticize and rehearse the individual behavior and practice of life,and also the foundational problem of the revival of virtue ethics.In the process of the possession and expression of human irrational factors from outside to inside,there is a natural tendency of arrogation,and self-control,that is,the proper placement of irrational factors by rationality originally occurring in the interior of living individuals,constitutes an important premise for individuals to become virtuous beings and choose virtuous behaviors in life practice.With the continuous advancement of the modernization movement,the evolution of human production mode,life mode and communication mode makes the problem of self-control manifest conflict,complexity and integrity in modern society,which greatly deepens the epistemological dilemma and practical problem faced by human behavior self-control.The modernization movement has not only brought the economic organization mode of rapid production,distribution,exchange and consumption to mankind,but also promoted the rapid development of material civilization by stimulating the desire and enlarging the need.However,in the embedding of capital logic,the spiritual publicity is constantly dispelled,and the sacred and noble spiritual home of mankind is destroyed.In the post-modern context,self-control is an important virtue for people to achieve spiritual abundance and high-quality development.Regardless of whether people know,understand,recognize and master it,people's self-control gives people spiritual power all the time,helping people step onto the road that is most in line with their"life-group",and helping individuals become free and conscious teleologists and legitimate actors.
