The Ethical Interpretation Of The "Other" In Family Ethics Stories ——Taking Shandong Folk Tales As The Object

This paper takes the family ethical stories in Shandong folk tales as the object,and Imanuel Levinas ’ " Other " ethics as the theoretical tool to explain the ethical concepts in the family ethical stories from the perspective of I-other relationship.It can be found that in these stories,it is indicated that we should respect heterogeneity,recognize others,and emphasize the goodness and responsibility of selflessness and non-return.The introduction part briefly introduces the reason and significance of this topic,research object and method,research review and Levinas ’ other theory.The first chapter is intended to explain the natural background and cultural background of Shandong folk tales,and can find the influence of Confucian culture on it,and Confucian culture and Levinas ’ point of view have differences and similarities,through the first chapter of Confucian culture for Shandong folk tales pave the background to be explained.The second chapter,based on the two typical and distinct images of ’ brother ’ and ’ brother ’,analyzes the two subjects in folk tales,namely self-interest subject and ethical subject for him,and analyzes the relationship between the three common elements of treasure,labor and enjoyment and the different manifestations of the two subjects,and finally summarizes the subjectivity of the two subjects.The third chapter is intended to clarify the relationship between the other and the blood family outside the family.As a social organization formed by the blood relationship,the family is the whole that the members of the family rely on.Therefore,the other who does not belong to this whole,such as the guest,the daughter-in-law and the son-in-law,will be excluded.However,it is found that the responsibility to treat these other people is also emphasized in Shandong folk stories.For example,in the story of the foolish son-in-law,for the action of excluding these other people from the family as a whole,folk stories often express irony in a way of breaking the rules.The fourth chapter starts from the parent-child relationship,explains the significance of fertility and analyzes the filial piety of children to parents in parent-child relationship,and finds out the pursuit and requirements of the public for filial piety and a compromise under helplessness.In the analysis of parents ’ kindness to their children,it is found that the same emphasis is placed on the recognition of the nature of separation between subjects,respect for the external nature of children as others and cannot be taught in the form of domination.Finally,we also find that filial piety and kindness also exist outside the blood-related family,which is the embodiment of responsibility from the face-to-face close relationship between people.
