issues of ethics should pay attention to treatment,to explore the history of the evolution of the moral life of mankind,reality show in the form of human moral life and the important problem of Chinese and Western thinking dimension ethicists..Moral consensus is the main theme of human moral life,the inherent demands of reality in the moral life of mankind,as the inherent demands of Chinese and Western ethicists diligently strive after.Moral consensus refers to the understanding and understanding of different subjects of moral cognition.In order to grasp the connotation of moral consensus,it is necessary to make a comparative study on the concepts of moral consensus and consensus morality,moral consensus and value identity,moral consensus and moral disagreement.The contents of moral consensus to moral values for the forms in the social mode of production is the root cause to people’s practice for the formation of communication field,has the universality and particularity,absoluteness and relativity,the characteristics of static and dynamic.The formation of moral consensus needs to be based on certain subjective conditions,objective conditions and intermediate conditions.The subject of moral consensus is the subject of mutual relations and the main body of mutual understanding,the objective condition is a moral consensus from the society should provide necessary external conditions,including material basis and reasonable interest relationship,and intermediary conditions show that the formation of moral consensus needs some intermediary platform.Through the subjective efforts of the subject,the effective guidance of society and the successful construction of communicative rationality,the moral consensus can be formed.The subjective effort of the subject is carried out from two aspects: first of all,from the moral attitude,moral emotion and so on,the subject should respect each other’s moral values and understand the common points of their moral values.Secondly,from the moral choice and the moral behavior and so on,the subject under the influence of own moral value,demonstrate a recognition and affirmation of moral consensus.The effective guidance of the society includes four aspects: individual cognitive guidance,public opinion guidance,moral education guidance and customs guidance.The moral subject between

boundary of moral consensus can be divided into three aspects: realistic boundary,logical boundary and value boundary.The real boundary of moral consensus mainly explains the formation of moral consensus and action is affected by many factors in the real life,the logical boundary of moral consensus shows the logical boundary "is" and "should" and the boundary of "I" and "others" of the boundary,the value boundary of moral consensus that is the moral consensus which is about the value of "good",rather than the value of "true" and the value of "beauty".It is necessary to define the boundary of moral consensus for us to understand the connotation and essence of moral consensus.Because of the boundary of moral consensus,it explains the basis of the rationality of moral consensus,determines the evaluation standard of moral consensus,limits the scope of moral consensus and provides the proper view of moral consensus.As an important part of the history of human moral life,moral consensus plays an important role in maintaining the human moral order and stability,and promoting the development of human moral life.It’s historical value of moral consensus manifested in three aspects: the moral consensus and the moral life of human history,the moral consensus and the promotion of the human moral culture tradition,the moral consensus and the writing of the human moral memory.It’s practical value of moral consensus manifested in three aspects: the guiding role of the moral consensus on moral life,the construction of human moral ideal and human moral personality
