Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract in English only.In my response to Prof. Sass, I first elaborate some points on which we agree. For example, I find the five crises of modern civilization discussed by Prof. Sass to be quite real, and I believe that this points to the fragility of modern civilization. I then critique the Enlightenment ideology of progress and argue that we need to prepare for the possibility of a cultural decline. I also agree with Prof. Sass’s emphasis on both the human potential for creativity and the human capacity for self-destruction. This contradicts liberal optimism about human nature and raises questions about our internal and spiritual resources. I support Prof. Sass’s critique of modern society’s obsession with GNP (Gross National Product) and agree that the concept of a GHP (Goss Happiness Product) is a better criterion for a good society. However, I believe that we must overcome even the vestiges of hedonism by affirming the intrinsic value of an objective moral order that transcends human happiness. In the end, in the face of the possibilities of disasters and the collapse of modern civilization, we need to return to our basic communities, such as family, and emphasize the cultivation of virtue.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 7 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.
反思現代文明的脆弱——回應薩斯教授
|中文文件文本;只有英文摘要。在我对萨斯教授的回应中,我首先阐述了一些我们同意的观点。例如,我发现萨斯教授讨论的现代文明的五大危机是相当真实的,我认为这表明了现代文明的脆弱性。然后,我批判了启蒙运动关于进步的意识形态,并认为我们需要为文化衰退的可能性做好准备。我也同意萨斯教授对人类创造潜力和自我毁灭能力的强调。这与自由主义对人性的乐观主义相悖,并引发了对我们内在和精神资源的质疑。我支持萨斯教授对现代社会痴迷于GNP(国民生产总值)的批评,并同意GHP(高斯幸福产品)的概念是衡量良好社会的更好标准。然而,我相信我们必须通过肯定超越人类幸福的客观道德秩序的内在价值来克服享乐主义的残余。最后,面对灾难的可能性和现代文明的崩溃,我们需要回到我们的基本社区,比如家庭,强调美德的培养。下载历史b|在迁移到这个平台之前,这篇文章在数字共享资源已经被下载了7次。
