西方伊莉莎白．安斯康訴求回歸亞里斯多德德性主張。儒家重視道德實踐，自能給予不同西方的德性探討。即如同，戴震以「理存乎欲」、「以情絜情」、「達情遂欲」啟蒙清代情性新貌，「德資於學」、「以學養智」去蔽顯德，由「道問學」貫通「尊德性」導向成德之路，關懷人的德行善性便是一套探討道德實踐的倫理學。本文就當代倫理學復興進而探索戴震哲學，首先理解「規則倫理學」、「德性倫理學」與「角色倫理學」型態。其次，分析如何從「情性」肯定「情」、「欲」生發的道德動力建構人心同然「道德情理」。再者，探問戴震哲學倫理型態是「規則倫理學」？「德性倫理學」？抑或「角色倫理學」？盼能在西方倫理學的多元脈絡間為傳統戴震哲學尋求新詮。 The essence of ethics has been studied for long histories in both eastern and western cultures. Aristotle was the major leader in ancient Greek while people like G.E.M. Anscombe in British advocated recovery of virtue ethics in last century. In China, over 2500 years Confucianism emphasized the realization of ethics via humanity which led to different perspectives and exploratory of ethics. In 18th century, Da Zhen proposed that humanity is the center of ethics, and human desire as well as rational investigations are parts of humanity. Humanity embodiment from emotion and desire therefore became cores of ethics studies in Qing dynasty. This research aims on exploring the correlations between western ethics and Da Zhen's theory. The author reviews the western theories of normative ethics followed by both virtue ethics and role ethics. And then interpretations of humanity and ethics from Da Zhen's perspective are thoroughly investigated. Hopefully an innovative annotation based on modern theories can be proposed to comprehend the moral philosophy of Da Zhen.
