今年1至2月份,我和林崇德应杨·伯翰大学的邀请,赴美国犹他州讲学和访问。我体会到,重视道德问题的研究,是目前美国教育的一个特点,近二十年来,美国对道德研究的课题越来越多。这种变化,与指导思想有关,正如联合国教科文组织所指出的,如果说70年代是智力开发时期,那么80年代应该培养全面发展的人。因此,西方国家,包括美国重视道德问题的研究。 From January to February this year, I and Lin Chongde went to Utah to give lectures and visits at the invitation of Yang Bingham University. I have learned that the study of ethical issues is a feature of current U.S. education. In the past two decades, the U.S. has become more and more involved in moral research. This change is related to the guiding ideology. As UNESCO pointed out, if the 1970s were an intellectual development period, then the 80s should cultivate all-round development. Therefore, Western countries, including the United States, pay attention to the study of moral issues.
