Five Basic Problems Related to the Construction of Morality

AbstrcatTo run a country by virtues, which was proposed by Jiang Zeming, shows that the construction of morality is of great significance to our society. In order to construct morality, we must make clear the following five basic problems: running a country by virtues is not necessarily more important than running a country by laws ,but the combination of the two is a must; conceptual morality is not equal to realistic morality, and it takes time for moral concepts to become moral reality; the development of economy will not necessarily bring about the progress of morality, instead, without moral influences, the development of economy has the possibility of becoming the trap of moral corruption, socialist system is the only possible power that can unite economy and morality; morality can not ultimately guide and control power, instead, in a society where power is embodied by official positions, morality is not possible to avoid becoming the accessory of power; morals and knowledge must be well balanced and combined, whether replacing morals with knowledge or vise versa is not scientific.
