Theory Of Moral Experience

Experience is a basic way of existence, which carries the value of moral education. This paper, proceeding from considering issues of moral education in contemporary Chinese schools, preliminarily explores that experience is the noumenon of moral education from the perspective of existence practice.On the foundation of considering the living situation of modern people and comparing the modes of experience between western and Chinese culture, the paper argues that experience is a kind of picture-like thinking activity; and that moral experience is the one that stresses the comprehension of relationship involving value judgments, which is embodied in two behaviors: experiencing pejsonally and experiencing others' by means of imagination. When judging values, man should have 'ecological wisdom' and examine them with the view of triple-ecology. Contemporary Chinese morals can be categorized into seven levels, among which ecological experience is a most mature one.Based.on the investigations, interviews, experiments and analysis of typical cases, this paper discusses some issues about moral education with philosophical consideration, focusing on the occurrence, embodiment and evaluation of moral experience and the types of its education. This paper reveals that induction of moral experience and its original occurrence are on different fields of moral experiences, that embodiment of it exists in both language and body, and that evaluation of it is 'embodiment', 'filing cabinet', and 'Scrotestic study'. This paper also explores that the characteristics of moral experience education are liveliness, openness, and personal attendance, that practical links of it are life experiences, understanding, embodiment,sympathetic response, awakening, and comprehension, and that types of this,education include life, chool and nature.
