The human world is in all aspects entering an"extraordinary era".To transcend the immense and profound risks of this era,it is imperative to address a key era-defining task:to construct a morphology of"extraordinary ethics"which parallels"daily ethics".Extraordinary ethical morphology is constituted by three elements:"extraordinary ethical world","extraordinary moral world",and the dialectical transformation between extraordinary ethics and daily ethics.The spectrum of issues and concepts in the extraordinary ethical world ranges from"ethical malfunction-ethical wake-up"to"ethical passion-ethical risk",and then to"ethical reflection-ethical awakening"."Ethical virtue-intellectual virtue","the heroism of obligation-the banality of evil",as well as"mutual assistance-mutual oblivion",constitute the spectrum of concepts and issues in the extraordinary moral world.The transitions from ethical wake-up to ethical passion and then to ethical awakening,as well as from ethical virtue to heroism of obligation and finally to mutual assistance,are the civilizational expectations and evolutionary patterns of both the ethical and the moral spirit in extraordinary situations.
