A Study on Responsibility Ethics in the Context of Chinese Traditional Culture

Abstract

The concept of ＂responsibility ethics＂ is put forward under the background of the increasingly prominent contradiction between freedom and responsibility in modern times. It emphasizes the value, initiative and responsibility of behavior selection, aiming at arousing the value and initiative consciousness of social members and promoting the fundamental solution of social problems. In view of the lack of ＂responsibility ethics＂ in modern society and the weakening of people's value rationality, this paper analyzes the responsibility ethics resources of Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism in the context of Chinese traditional culture, and explores the responsibility ethics of Confucianism with family as the main body, Taoism with people's livelihood as the main body, and Legalists with the state as the main body. In order to provide practical value for the moral cultivation of contemporary society. Looking for the resources of responsibility ethics in ancient China can realize the combination and complementary optimization of traditional responsibility ethics and contemporary society, promote the citizens to enhance their sense of responsibility, pay attention to their own responsibility and moral status, improve the moral atmosphere, and create a good moral environment for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
