The Research On Hume’s Moral Self-sufficiency Thought

Hume’s self-sufficient thought was based on the summary and reflection of previous Western philosophical thoughts,and he focused on criticizing moral rationalism.He started from the principle of human nature and discussed the concrete expression and realization path of moral self-sufficiency according to the experiential thought.He discussed the conflicts between morality and happiness,rules and humanity by discussing the power of perception,passion,and interests,emphasizing the feedback and recognition of moral rules and moral subjects,that is,moral rules reflect the moral will of moral subjects and the height of moral subjects Recognize values of moral rules.This article is divided into three parts:The first part sorts out the meaning and historical changes of self-sufficient thought,and introduces the background of the formation of Hume’s moral self-sufficient thought.Self-sufficiency refers to the state of self-sufficiency,and moral self-sufficiency means the realization of the unification of individualized moral demands and universal moral rules.Hume’s moral self-sufficiency was the product of Scottish market economy and urban life in the 18 th century,and was deeply influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment.The second part summarizes the content and characteristics of Hume’s moral self-sufficiency thought.From three perspectives of epistemology,methodology and moral practice.The main content includes: In epistemology,it points out that moral self-sufficiency is the result of perception,the product of perception,nature,and habit.In epistemology,it states that moral self-sufficiency is the result of passion,that emotions derive moral rules,stimulate moral motivation,and dominate the rational spirit.In moral practice,it describes moral self-sufficiency as a positive view of self-interest,commercial society,and public utility.The main features are: the unity ofperception and cognition,the unity of passion and sympathy,the unity of benefit and justice.In the unity of perception and cognition,perception helps cognition be more vivid,and cognition helps perception be more organized.In the unity of passion and sympathy,passion and sympathy have a common practical basis and value principles.In the unity of self-interest and justice,self-interest and justice are the result of natural tendency and mutual benefit.The third part discusses the realization path and value of moral self-sufficiency.The realization path of moral self-sufficiency is: one is that the moral rules embody the demands of the moral subject,that is,the humanization of the rules;By satisfying the survival needs of moral subjects,moral rules highlight the role of introspection and moral motivation,and promote the humanization of moral rules.The moral subject realizes his emotional identification with the moral rules by improving the moral ability,promoting social attributes,and maintaining natural beliefs.The contemporary value of moral self-sufficiency is mainly manifested as:reconciling the contradiction between the increasingly individualized moral demands of modern society and the regulated order.In theoretical research,I should be wary of the legalization of moral norms and the moral research methods that abuse rational and economic analysis.In practical life,we should strengthen the belief of social progress,cultivate the spirit of mutual help and improve the platform for communication.
