Humanistic Morality:The Possibility of a Third Morality

The separation between social morality and religious morality represents the progress of social civilization,but it brings new perplexity to the moral life of modern times.Therefore,a third morality-humanistic morality beyond these two morals is in need.Humanistic morality is a reconstruction of the two from an angle of mid-view that on one hand is a new religious morality transformed from the primary social morality on the premise of love,and on the other hand is a new social morality embodied by the primary religious morality.Historically speaking,Confucian advocated the ritual and musical moralization as the main body of humanistic morality,which representatively reflects the unity of the transcendent and the realistic,and the combination of obligatory repayment to God and human.
