Abstract
Morality originates from the demand for soical morality,namely,the demand for developing social being;while the demand for personal morality,namely,the demand for perfecting self-moral character,originates from morality,it is the way and the means by which morality can be observed and thus realized.Therefore,origin and purpose of morality can only be heteronomy,can only be worked for other thing beyond morality,namely,for ensuring the development of social being and for promoting interest of everyone;they can not be autonomic,can not be worked for morality itself and for perfecting the moral character of everyone.This is just an objective law that origin and purpose of morality are determined by the most profound essence of morality,namely,morality and virtue are a necessary evil.
