Features: This book aims to combine theory and practice, starting from the complex issues faced in contemporary Chinese moral construction, to systematically study the general phenomena and fundamental laws of moral development in modern China. The emergence of a series of problems and challenges in China's moral domain stems from the ongoing social reform centered on establishing and developing a socialist market economy. Therefore, our research is closely tied to this fundamental perspective. The book is divided into four main sections:
1. Foundational Principles: This section primarily examines the starting point of moral construction, systematically elaborating and arguing that contemporary Chinese moral development should embrace the challenges of globalization, adapt to the socialist market economy, align with socialist legal norms, and inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
2. Market Morality: Through theoretical analysis of the relationship between the market economy and ethical development, as well as a theoretical examination of the Chinese characteristics of the market economy system, this section scientifically derives the moral laws governing market operations.
3. Moral Normative System: After clarifying several key theoretical issues in moral normative construction, this section proposes and argues for a series of moral norms at both the social and citizen levels, thereby establishing a relatively comprehensive and open moral normative system.
4. Moral Construction System: From macro, meso, and micro perspectives, this section systematically analyzes the external environment, operational mechanisms, and internal driving forces of moral construction.
This book seeks to address and resolve the moral issues and challenges in contemporary China's development through the study of these four major topics, thereby advancing the practical application of Chinese ethics.
