On The Moral Integration

Contemporary society is pluralistic, in which the living fields extend incessantly; relations are complicated day and day; members are increasingly difficult to reach consensus of it; and benefit subject's differentiation leads to the variance in human being's awareness and moral level. The age is calling a united, integrated and harmonized morals, the inner characteristic of pluralistic society and the object and result of moral integration. Thus, moral integration becomes the certain choice of pluralistic society requiring it to provide the foundation of value and moral criterion which make the pluralistic society develop harmoniously.Moral integration is the course which a certain society integrates different moral consciousness, moral value-laden and ethical idea to form a united, integrated and harmonized morals. It takes the society as subject, and the morals as object. Moral integration is both the integration to morals and the pursuit to ethical order of the society. The former is the foundation and presupposition of the latter, and the latter is the realization and distillation of the former. The integration to morals solves what the society integrates, which makes the moral integration have concrete object and content; and the pursuit to ethical order of the society solves the problem why the society integrates morals, which makes the moral integration have clear aim. Moral integration has the features of strong permeability and weak restriction, promotion and openness, progressness and ascent and clearness and singleness of the object. Viewing from the function of moral integration , it is mainly to attain the assimilation and orientation to moral consciousness and conception, and the guarantee to moral structure and ethical order ofthe society through forming a unified morals. Moral integration mainly contains three functions as the following: assimilation-fusing , intensification-orientation and promotion-perfection.How can moral integration be possible is determined in theory by the moving law of morals and the purpose of social morals; in reality by the fact that human beings exist morally and abide by moral ideas jointly. Viewing from that realization mechanism of moral intergration, the main factors that affect moral integration's realization, constitute the realization mechanism of moral integration, which is the organic relativity, causality and operative state among internal and external components of moral integration system. At the same time, these main factors also can change into the basic conditions which realize the moral integration. To sum up, moral integration must take the social culture circumstances system as the "mother's body" ; take the social basic institution system which is reasonable in morals as the support; take the playing to the moral subjectivity as the dependence. Viewing from the realization mark of moral integration, there are four marks relating to the object of moral integration as the following: common conception of morals, common emotion of morals, united will of morals and moral ideal which is abided by jointly; and two marks relating to the subject of moral integration as the following : stable structure model of social morals and harmonious order of morals. Because of the development level's restriction of moral integration's subject and object, moral integration's realization inevitably has some limits, which include three aspects as the following: the incompleteness of social development limits the realization of moral integration; the incompleteness of moral development limits the realization of moral integration; the restriction and effect of traditional culture of morals make the realization of moralintegration have some limits.
