从原始情感到道德基础--关于亚当·斯密同情理论的思考

摘要

亚当·斯密认为，同情是人人都具有的情感，本身不具备道德性，但在人们的社会交往中，基于这种情感的行为却成了美德。在《道德情操论》中，他描述了个体情感社会化的可能和过程，为我们理解道德情感和公共生活领域中的道德问题提供了重要的借鉴。%Adam Smith thought sympathy was the common emotion to everyone,which was different from morality. But it was the basias of morality during people’s social life. In the book The Theory of Moral Sentiments,Adam Smith described the probability and process of the individual emotion socialized,which provided important reference for us.
