System And Ethics: Compare, Select, Analyze,

Since the Reform and Opening-up policy was adopted, Chinese economy gains significant achievement. With the development of Chinese economy, the anomie of social institutions and morality appears. In the circumstance of this period, it's very important to clarify the relationship between institutions and morality, it's really necessary to reinforce the construction of institutions and morality.The morality and institutions both originated in people's social practice in history. They have different meanings and characters, they have different status in different economics, and they have different functions in the same society, but they construct the complete system of social rules.Ancient China is an ethical society, law belongs to morality, this kind of situation doesn't accommodate with the nature of market economy. The development of market economy will deconstruct the traditional ethics. Though laws and institutions are the most important rules, the Chinese market economy also needs the support of morality.Though morality and institutions have so many differences, both of them have unseparated interconnections in essence and functions. The rationality of institutions comes from morality, institutions also have ethical effect. Because of these inherent relations, I think "institutional ethics" is practicable. Institutionalization of morality is a viable way to promote the moral level of society.
