Abstract
Life and morality are closely connected. The vitalists hold the view that self-love is the origin of morality and the principles of morality are characterized as reproductive, while the aspiration for life becomes the motive to promote the moral society from closed to open. The failure in moral education in schools is the result of ignorance of life. Therefore, moral education should start from the life of individuals and guide it to find its own treasured meaning.
