The present article reviews recent arguments on the moral-conventional distinction in moral judgment and discusses the implications for moral psychology research. Traditional research on moral judgment has considered both the evaluation of transgressive actions of others and the categorization of the norms on the moral-conventional dimension. Kohlberg, Piaget, and Turiel (1983) regard moral principles to be clearly distinguished from social-conventional norms and suggested criteria for the moral-conventional distinction. They assume that the moral domain should be specifically related to the value of care and justice, and the judgment for the moral transgression should be universal and objective. The cognitive developmental approach or social domain theory, which has been generally accepted by moral psychology researchers, is recently being challenged. In this article, we introduce three different approaches that criticize the assumptions for the moral-conventional distinction, namely, moral sentimentalism, moral parochialism, and moral pluralism. Moral sentimentalism emphasizes the role of emotion in moral judgment and suggests that moral and conventional norms can be continuously distributed on an affective-nonaffective dimension. Moral parochialism, based on the evidence from anthropology and cross-cultural psychology, asserts that norm transgression can be the object of moral judgment only when the action is relevant to the survival and reproduction of a group and the individuals within the group; judgment for moral transgression can be as relative as that for conventional transgression. Moral pluralism suggests multiple moral intuitions that vary with culture and individual, and questions the assumption of the social domain theory that morality is confined to care and justice. These new perspectives imply that the moral-conventional distinction may not properly tap into the nature of moral judgment and that further research is needed.

Xìng $sh{\grave{a}}n$(性善) theory of Mencius combined xìng(性) that means physical characteristic of human together $sh{\grave{a}}n$(善) that means moral value or moral behavior. Therefore in other to verify the meaning of xìng $sh{\grave{a}}n$(性善) we need to analysis human nature in Psychology and moral norm in Ethics simultaneously. And that necessity justified Moral Psychological approach to xìng $sh{\grave{a}}n$(性善). Mencius combined a priori morality and a priori moral norm and asserted xìng $sh{\grave{a}}n$(性善). And than he presented an example for a basis or a clue of mora norm and explained grounds of moral behavior. But various theory Moral Psychology considered morality as an attachment or derivation of human nature. So another new Moral Psychology is needed to investigate Mencius Xìng $sh{\grave{a}}n$(性善) theory in a viewpoint of Moral Psychology. And than that must managed morality and moral norm as essential problems firstly. That because Mencius considered human as a moral subjectivity and seek the clue or basis morality and moral norm in human nature. And secondly that must managed moral intelligence as a emotional intelligence, because of $li{\acute{a}}ng$ $n{\acute{e}}ng$(良能) $li{\acute{a}}ng$ zhī(良知) of Mencius meaned moral intelligence which was derived from blood tied and moral emotion.

The uncodifiability thesis in anti-theory argument is the typical claim for the impossibility of ethical theorizing. Based on this thesis reflecting particularism strongly, contemporary anti-theorists in ethics argue that individual decisions in particular situations cannot be codified into moral principles. The uncodifiability thesis needs to be examined by the following two issues: a theoretical issue of whether the object of codification is moral practices or not; and a practical one of whether moral principles present the decision procedure of moral reasoning or not. The characteristics of practical reasoning show that the object of codification in ethics, as moral theorists insist, is not moral practices but morality itself. Also moral theorists, contrary to the criticisms of anti-theorists, insist that moral reasoning is comprised of not only moral principles but also moral judgments with contextual knowledge and moral wisdom. In brief, moral theorists make a persuasive response to the uncodifiability thesis when they do neither intend to codify moral practices into moral principles nor to deduce the moral reasoning from moral principles. For them moral judgments should be examined by the moral principles which present universal and idealistic morality.

How can Selfish people choose moral behaviors. Xunzi thought it can be done with Human reason. For him, people move for their own interest. So they must follow Yi(禮), if they understand the life that following Yi is better than following x?ngq?ng(性情). Xunzi' theory is going to meet following two problems. One, people do not choose Yi because heir selfish is the only power to do. Second, there is nothing to blame or punishment for violators because it is not the duty. I tried to explain with two solutions for Xunzi.

본 연구에서는 청소년들을 대상으로 정의적 특성으로 분류해 온 도덕성의 성격과 발달 수준을 찾아 이를 기초하여 학생들의 자기 이해를 돕고 정의적 성숙을 가져올 수 있게 하는 자기 평가식 도덕성검사를 Kohlberg의 도덕성 발달 수준을 기반으로 한 온라인 도덕성 검사 시스템을 설계 및 구현하는 방법을 연구하였다. 구현된 시스템을 이용하여 학생들 스스로 자신의 도덕성을 진단하고 평가하여 자기중심성으로 부터 벗어나 협동과 상호존중의 관계를 지향할 수 있는 학생이 되도록 하는 것이 이 연구의 주요한 목적이다. 본 연구에서 설계하고 구현한 도덕성검사 시스템이 성공적으로 적용된다면 검사와 검사의 결과에 대한 진로안내가 한 시스템 내에서 이루어지기 때문에 학생들의 진로지도에 대한 효율적인 성과를 가져올 수 있을 것이며, 또한 쉽고 빠른 검사로 인해 지필검사를 통해 실시하는 것보다 훨씬 경제적인 효과를 올릴 수 있을 것이다.

이 논문의 목적은 장구성의 성선 개념이 호상학과 같이 선악을 초월해 있는 것이 아니라 선한 마음의 근거로서 내재되어있는 것임을 밝히는 데 있다. 기존연구자들에 의하면, 선악을 초월한 성의 의미는 도덕적 본성의 내재성을 부정하는 것이고, 이로 인해서 성이 외부조건에 따라서 선하게도 악하게도 될 수 있다는 것이다. 그리고 도덕적 본성의 실현은 성에 근거한 것이 아니라 심에 근거해서 이루어지는 것이다. 장구성은 고자의 성 개념을 비판함으로써 도덕적 본성의 내재성과 본성에 근거한 도덕적 실천을 논증해 나간다. 장구성의 성선 개념은 '성은 인의예지로서 내재된 도덕적 본성이다'라는 명제로 압축될 수 있다. 이 명제는 세 가지 조건을 내포하고 있다. 첫째, 성은 곧 인의예지이다. 둘째, 인의예지는 사단의 근거로서만 존재한다. 셋째, 사단은 그 근원인 도덕적 본성을 확인할 수 있는 단서이다. 첫 번째 조건은 '곧'이 '바로 그' 혹은 '나아가다' 중에 어떤 것으로 해석되느냐에 따라서 도덕적 본성의 내재성여부가 가려진다는 것이다. 전자의 의미라면, 성이 인의예지로서 내재된 도덕적 본성이다. 반면에 후자의 의미라면, 인의예지는 도덕적 실천이 이루어진 후에 명명되는 덕목이다. 두 번째 조건은 인의예지와 사단이 체용의 관계를 이루느냐의 여부를 묻는 것이다. 체용의 의미는 도덕적 본성[인의예지]에 근거해서만 드러나는 것이 선한 마음[사단]임을 나타내는 것이다. 세 번째 조건은 사단이 도덕적 본성을 확인하는 단서로 쓰였느냐의 여부를 묻는 것이다. 도덕적 본성이 내 마음에 내재되어있다면, 본성실현의 관건은 그 본성을 확인하는 데에 달려있다. 이때 선한 마음은 확충해서 완전하게 실현되어야 하는 것이 아니라 그 근원을 찾아가는 단서이다. 장구성은 이 세 가지 조건을 충족시킴으로써 맹자의 성선 개념이 도덕적 본성의 내재성임을 증명한다.

According to Kant, morality is an institution that preserves and promotes humanity. However, some pathologies can be found in morality. Nietzsche is the one who severely criticized pathologies of morality, especially in terms of the phenomenon of "self-deception". Those who support Kantian tradition, can also learn from Nietzsche's criticism. But they regard "respect" as the fundamental moral attitude. This is different from Nietzsche's "pathos of distance", which is based on disrespect and contempt.

This paper is to examine the interrelationship between morality (or ethics) and geography and education in terms of the moral and ethical dimension embedded moral turn in geography. Since the 1970s, the geography have morally turned with stressing realization of social relevance and justice through interest on moral issues such as the spatial inequality and human welfare in the world of difference. This moral turn in geography has formed the area of moral geography, and emphasized the ethics of care and responsibility of human and nature with warning of immoral geographies of others and nature in the world of difference with the recent trend of postmodernism. For morally careful geography teaching, it is now good time that geography educators need to think the moral turn in geography education. If geography education is willing to contribute to make a better world, it needs to reflect more morally on geography curriculum and instruction in terms of the ethics of care and responsibility.
