Abstract

Morality is both historical and specific.It implies different meanings in different historical periods and social fields.Therefore,moral judgments towards peoples' behavior have different standards in different time and space.However,if the moral foundations in the past were uncertain, then,with the present historical condition of globalization and post-industry,the overall open society requires a definite moral foundation,which is made possible by man's existence.The moral consciousness,moral judgment and selective power of moral behavior have their origins in man's moral existence instead of education acquirement.The realization of morality depends on the formation of man's moral existence as well as the support of moral system.
