Abstract

The book On Fine Morality pursues to provide guidance for the re-building of the fine morality in the modern society by explaining,spreading and applying the thoughts and methods of the fine morality system.Good and evil are moral appraisals of individual behaviors based on what should be done.However,morality is social but not individual,so the radical mode of moral existence is not self-discipline but heteronomy.In any era,the important thing is not whether there are morality or moral rules,but what morality and moral rules.Only the fine moral system can rule the society and moralize the social life.Only by breaking through the passage between theory and life,can the fine morality be made the value criteria,judge scale and action principle of life,thus making the morality deficient life come back to the moral tracks.
