Study Of Wealth Ethics

Wealth is something that everyone desires to obtain,and something that everyone strives to chase.It can meet human needs and bring happiness to human life,so it is endowed with "goodness" by humans.Human beings always pursue wealth with certain values.When everyone is chasing wealth,the concept of good and evil of wealth appears.How to let people learn to understand wealth objectively,reasonably,and fairly,and when facing wealth,wealth ethics will emerge as the times require.Wealth ethics is the result of human beings' rational understanding and comprehension of the essence,function,and value of wealth in the long-term social life.It is also a normative force that guides human wealth thoughts and behaviors.In the course of historical evolution,mankind has accumulated and formed a wealth of wealth ethics.The ancient Chinese society belongs to the eastern "Asian ancient" social form that Marx said.All forms of its means of production are owned by the clan state;its social system is a patriarchal hierarchy with blood as the core;its ethical thinking is a moral concept with "bloody feelings","benevolence" and "nobleness" as the main content.The way to solve the problem of people and wealth is to use the social hierarchy of human relations to adjust the distribution of social wealth,and adopt the moral concepts formed by blood kinship and the proposition of the theory of "Heaven and Humanity" to curb humanity's desire for wealth.This is an ideological system that uses ethical values ??to adjust people's desire for wealth and value.It is a rigid overlap of the two value systems.Ancient Western societies followed the "classical" development path.The pattern of its development was the disintegration of the clan through which it moved towards private ownership in all forms of means of production.The private ownership of property promotes the self-consciousness of the individual,but the ethics of wealth is also determined by the free will of the individual's self-consciousness,choosing between the desire for wealth and the pursuit of perfect value.The life of the best is not a life in which wealth satisfies desires,but a life in conformity with the morality of the soul.Ethics is a value concept or spiritual temperament,and its structure lies in "being in Tao and living in morality." "Tao" is the criterion of ethical value and the basis for human behavior to conform to ethics."Virtue" is the internalization of Tao and is the virtue of an individual.In order to regulate people's behaviors and lead to ethical goodness,Chinese and foreign philosophers have tried to find a perfect ethical code for people,which will be internalized in the heart and become human virtue.This method will also belong to the construction method of wealth ethics.In constructing it,we should also follow this line of thinking to construct wealth ethical values and moral concepts of wealth ethics.Wealth is a thing,and it also exists under the subject's concept and consciousness.The subject will form its own set of value standards in the understanding of wealth.Of course,since consciousness is always determined by social existence,people's awareness of wealth will always change with the development of social productive forces and changes in the type and quantity of wealth.In addition,within the scope of society,a set of universally unified values will also be formed.When people's awareness of wealth needs in society has been widely recognized and accepted,the value principle of wealth ethics cannot be just the universally unified value principle,which regulates and restricts people's wealth awareness and behavior from a high position.It must be the conscious and spontaneous realization of the subject's free will between the self-consciousness of wealth and the external ethical rules through the dialectical movement of the self-will.It is no longer a "static good",but a "living good".The value criteria of wealth ethics include "medium","mutual assistance" and "happiness".The value concept and value spirit of wealth ethics penetrate into people's thoughts,concepts,and consciousness,and transform them into personal thoughts,consciousness,concepts,and attitudes.This is wealth morality.Wealth ethics internalizes the spirit of wealth ethics in the subject consciousness,and is the internal guarantee for the good operation of wealth ethics in social practice.Wealth ethics that are compatible with the wealth value norms of "medium","mutual assistance" and "happiness" are moral concepts such as "medium","generosity" and "friendship".
