摘要
"善"是西方伦理思想中最基本的概念。探讨古希腊、中世纪、近代、现代等不同时期的西方至善的思想,可以看出西方"善"观念的两个特点:(1)它是个人主义的,或至少是以个人幸福和利益为根据的;(2)它与现实生活有一定的距离,要通过间接的甚至往往是不善的和不幸福的手段来达到,手段和目的是分裂的。
"Goodness" is a fundamental notion of western ethical thought. Ultimate goodness of Ancient Greek, Middle Medieval, After Hegel to Modern Times etc. is analysed. Two characteristics about goodness are found : (1) It is egoism or based on oneg happiness and interest ; (2) It has a distance with real life and direct material interest and hedonism. Ultimate goodness is attained only by virtue of indirect or no good and no happy means. Means and end is separate.
