德行、情緒、與道德教育Virtue, emotion, and moral

education 國立臺灣師範大學 National Taiwan Normal University 林建福 Chien-Fu Lin

本文旨在探討德行和情緒的內在關係，並循此論述情陶冶與德行養成這兩者在道德教育上的重要意義。 This essay is aimed both at exploring

the intrinsic relationships between virtues and emotions and at expounding the significance of the cultivation of emotions and the formation of virtues in moral education.

因此，本探究分三部分進行：首先，討論德行的意義與性質，主要參照Aristotle的見解；其次，彰顯情緒的認知與評價內涵，並進一步說明情緒和德行兩者可能的內在連結；最後，依照前述的認識，以道德教育中的德行培育為焦點，申論情緒教育的必要性與可行之道。

Therefore, this essay is divided into three parts: first of all, to discuss the meanings and nature of virtues, in particular referring to Aristotle’s virtue ethics; secondly, to reveal the cognitional and evaluative aspects of the meanings of emotions and to furtherly make clear the possible inherent connections of emotions to virtues; finally, being based on the aforementioned recognition and focusing on the development of virtues, to investigate the necessity of and the feasible ways of educating emotions.

德行／ Virtue

一種品格狀態（ hexis, state of character) ，不同於官能（ faculty ）與情慾（ pathos ）。

德行……是一種與抉擇有關並且是抉擇中庸的品格狀態，也就是抉擇相對於我們的中庸，這是由理性原理（ orthos logos）所決定的，而且具有實踐智慧者也是憑藉這種原理來決定擇取中庸（ NE, BK.2, 6）

Virtue is a state of character concerned with choice, lying in a mean, i.e. the mean relative to us, this being determined by a rational principle, and by that principle by which the man of practical wisdom would determine it.

Vice—德行（ Virtue —） Vice

Defect —the intermediate —excess to feel: at the right times, to act: with regerence to the right

objects, towards the right people, with the right motive, in the right way.

擁有真正德行者 :

為了這些德行本身的緣故而抉擇。 …he must choose the acts, and choose

them for their own sakes.

德行 道德德行（ moral virtues ）：

liberality, temperance, etc.

理智德行（ intellectual virtues ）： art, scientific knowledge, practical wisdom, intuitive reason, philosophical wisdom.

實踐智慧：深思熟慮（ deliberate ）、抉擇（ choose ）、依據抉擇而行動（ act in accordance with the choice ）（至少包括此等能力）

擁有實踐智慧者能進行實踐推理（ practical reason ），以實踐三段論法（ practical syllogism ）加以說明：

大前提（ the major premise ）：light meats are digestible and wholesome 小前提（ the minor premise ）： which sorts of meat are light 結論（ conclusion ）： he would or

would not produce health.

大前提（ the major premise）： 對美好生活的想法（ the conception of a good life, etc.）〔想要（ want）、目標（ goal）、慾望（ desire）〕。

小前提（ the minor premise）： 特定情境的性質（ the features of the specific situation）。

結論（ conclusion）： 依抉擇而行動的傾向（ the disposition to act in accordance with the choice）。

※大前提普遍項對小前提特定項情境知覺的影響，後者提供訊息以釐清、修正、明確化前者。

實踐智慧和道德德行相互需要。 Practical wisdom needs and completes

moral virtues, and vice versa.

有德者必須樂於從事德行行動（ must enjoy acting virtuously ）。

學習者的快樂還不是完全德行者的快樂。
