The Origin of Morality and the Human Need

In the history of ethics thinking, many thinkers have studied and probed into the origin of morality, and achieved some successes in knowledge. However, they have never correctly revealed the origin of morality. As a special spiritual phenomenon, morality is actually a means and way to regulate and coordinate interpersonal relations, and a way for man to perfect and develop himself. It is a human need to satisfy personal and collective existence and reproduction, coordinate interpersonal relations and pursue common development, and also a need for self-confirmation, self-perfection and self-development, hence a mechanism of balance and means of realization. Either viewed from the point of nature or from the point of function, morality is a product of human need, so, when man as the subject, human need is the real origin of morality.
