Abstract

In more recent years, the main moral education mode of colleges takes on 'reason-norm' paradigm, which ensures the ordering development of social morality and the positive impact on moral education of mass students.However, the absolute obligation, generalized rules and ignoring moral agents emerging from that paradigm results on distorting understanding of the values of moral education, moral subjectivity and the moral education functions on moral community.Thus, the timing intervention of virtue ethics can not only connect moral norms and moral agents, but also make up the deficiencies of the paradigm that mentioned above.Specifying goals of moral education based on virtues, launching moral practice adhering to humanism and constructing the feasible paths for moral community cultures will improve moral education system of colleges and seek out new measures for moral practice as well.
