The ethics discipline of Southeast University began in the early 80s of the 20th century, founded by the famous philosophers and ethicists Professor Xiao Kuntao and Professor Wang Yushu, and began to form a young discipline echelon composed of young doctors in the early 90s, and by the mid-90s, this team basically achieved doctoralization. With the care and support of seniors and friends from all walks of life, the ethics discipline of Southeast University has been greatly developed. Since the end of the 20th century, myself and my colleagues have been pondering and exploring the question: What should and may our team contribute to the development of ethics in China? In other words, what characteristics should the ethics discipline of Southeast University form and establish? We understand that without distinctive scholarship, its contribution will always be limited. In 2005, our ethics discipline was approved as the "985 Project" National Innovation Base for Philosophy and Social Sciences, a historic leap forward that pushed us to think about this issue. After careful discussion and seeking advice from our seniors and colleagues, we positioned our disciplinary characteristics and academic contributions in three aspects: moral philosophy; ethics of science and technology; Significant applications. The orientation of moral philosophy as the first construction direction is based on the understanding that ethics belongs to philosophy in the first-level discipline, and its research and its results must have sufficient philosophical foundation and sufficient philosophical content; Many theoretical and practical issues in ethics and moral philosophy in China today must be explored and solved at the level of moral philosophy. The study of moral philosophy aspires to and is committed to the discussion of some major and even cutting-edge theoretical topics of moral philosophy. In this era called "post-philosophy", this kind of attachment, attachment and return to philosophy in ethical research is indeed a kind of "knowing that it cannot be done", but we firmly believe that it is a scarce academic resource and academic effort in our time. The positioning of science and technology ethics is based on the historical tradition of our team, the discipline ecology of Southeast University, and the new frontier of ethical and moral development. The earliest postgraduate training direction of Southeast University is "scientific ethics", I myself studied and researched in this direction back then, and the discipline ecology of Southeast University with science and technology as the main body and the comprehensive development of culture, management, art and medicine has also made us, the "new generation" who grew up in the early 90s, once again realize that it is wise to choose science and technology ethics as the growth point of the discipline. If the positioning of moral philosophy and the ethics of science and technology is related to our disciplinary tradition, then the positioning of major applications is based on the choice of the realistic nature of ethics and the desire and ambition to contribute to the construction of ethics and morality in China. Positioning "major applications" rather than "applied ethics" in general shows that we have done something and nothing in this regard, but only tried to consolidate our efforts in some major aspects and areas of ethical application. Based on the above positioning, in the construction of the "985 Project", we decided to conduct a series of research and seriously and prudently launch academic achievements marked by "East University Ethics" on the basis of long-term accumulation. "Ethics of Eastern University" is named after two considerations: the authors of these series of achievements are mainly members of the ethics team of Southeast University, and some series also include excellent doctoral dissertations of doctoral students in ethics trained by Southeast University; The deeper reason is that we hope and strive to make these achievements have some characteristics and make their own contributions to the development of ethics in China. "Ethics of Eastern University" consists of six series: the Moral Philosophy Research Series; Science and Technology Ethics Research Series; Major Applied Research Series; a series of translations related to the above three structures; The "Ethical Research" album series, which appeared in the form of a series and was launched in the 90s of the 20th century, also organized and published around three major orientations; There is also an excellent doctoral dissertation series. The basic structure of the "Moral Philosophy Series" is "Two Histories and One Theory", that is, the basic theory of moral philosophy; Chinese Moral Philosophy; Foreign moral philosophy. The research basis of moral philosophy theory not only distinguishes "ethics" from "morality" in concept, but also distinguishes ethics, moral philosophy, and moral metaphysics in a certain sense. These distinctions in a sense return to the tradition of classical German philosophy, but they are more profoundly consistent with the tradition of Chinese moral philosophy. In this era when the "end of philosophy" was announced, in-depth and meticulous, exquisite and grandiose philosophical research was necessary and scarce, although the "Zhu Xi Meteorology" that was "to the vast, subtle, and comprehensive for hundreds of generations" is almost gone in China, but this does not mean that our scholarship today no longer needs to be profound, exquisite and grandiose. The conceptual basis of the study of the history of Chinese moral philosophy and the history of Western moral philosophy is to regard the history of moral philosophy as the "history of philosophy", not just the "original history" and "history of reflection" of moral philosophy, it is committed to exploring and discovering the spiritual connotations of "eternal reality" in the Chinese and Western moral philosophy traditions, and conducting dialogue and mutual interpretation of Chinese and Western moral traditions at the philosophical level. Special history and general history will be the two basic dimensions of the study of the history of moral philosophy, and the Marxist dialectic of history is its soul and method. The academic style of the "Ethics of Science and Technology Series" is consistent with that of the "Moral Philosophy Series", which also includes two research structures. The first research structure is the study of the moral philosophy of science and technology, which is not the general ethics of science and technology, but from the philosophical level, using philosophical methods to carry out the theoretical construction and academic research of science and technology ethics, hence the name "moral philosophy of science and technology" instead of "science and technology ethics"; The second research structure is the research on ethical issues at the forefront of contemporary science and technology, such as gene ethics research, network ethics research, bioethics research, etc. The academic task of the first structure is theoretical construction, and the academic task of the second structure is problem exploration, thus forming the complementarity and interaction between theoretical research and practical research. The "Major Application Series" starts with the major bidding project of national philosophy and social sciences and the major commissioned project of philosophy and social science in Jiangsu Province as the chief expert, focusing on investigation and countermeasure research. At present, we are organizing a large-scale survey in four aspects, namely, the survey on ethical relations in Chinese society today; Moral Life Survey; Ethical-moral quality survey; A large survey of lessons learned from ethical-moral development and their impact factors. Our goal and task is to strive to understand and grasp the real situation of ethics and morality in China today, carry out theoretical promotion and theoretical innovation on this basis, and put forward countermeasures of strategic significance and innovative significance for the construction of ethics and morality in China. This is our interpretation and understanding of "major applications", and we will continue to follow this direction and contribute the research results of teams and individuals in the future. The "Translation Series" and the "Ethical Research" series will revolve around the above three structures. The efforts we try to carry out are: these two series will be based on academic exchanges, including team members' visits to famous foreign universities, famous academic institutions, famous scholars, and high-level international and domestic academic conferences, with the theme and main line of "what we are doing", so as to condense their own resources and efforts. The "Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Series" will carefully launch some excellent doctoral dissertations in the discipline of ethics at Southeast University to review our cultural heritage. Marx once said that history can only propose tasks that it can accomplish, because the formulation of tasks has shown that the conditions for accomplishing the task have been met or are being met. Perhaps, we are proposing a task that is difficult or impossible to complete on our own, because the conditions for us to complete the task, especially in terms of the academic qualifications of myself and our team, are far from being met. We look forward to establishing an academic logo of "Eastern University Ethics" with moral philosophy, science and technology ethics, and major applications as the three primary colors through long search and even generations of efforts. What this program demonstrates is not so much some academic achievements, but the ambition and desire of our team members to contribute their own efforts to the cause of ethics in China. We cannot predict the outcome, because the philosopher Russell has long warned that what does not happen is unpredictable, we do not even have enough confidence to look to the future, and the only thing we can tell and promise is: we are trying! We will always try! Fan Hao met at Southeast University "Tongue in Valley" on February 11, 2007(AI翻译)
