Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Morality is a multi-disciplinary issue that is discussed in many disciplines, including philosophy, ethics, sociology, psychology, management, political science and so on. At the individual level, morality comprises how people master the moral rules as the core of human civilization, form reasonable moral reasoning thinking, cultivate intuitive moral feelings, and carry out social behaviors in line with the requirements of moral norms. At the interpersonal level, morality means harmonious coexistence and positive altruism, which means caring, helping and promoting others instead of indifference, hindrance and inhibition. From the organizational context level, morality means a positive ethical climate, which means rule and responsibility orientation rather than private interest and instrumental orientation. At the national and social level, morality means the positive development power of society as a whole and means the stability and self-mobility of the social structure. From the perspective of cross-cultural and human beings as a whole, morality means the pursuit of moral norms for cultural universality and respect for the differences of different cultures. The multidimensional nature of morality determines that it is an important subject concerned by multiple disciplines. Therefore, we welcome theoretical and empirical contributions from different disciplines to open up a multidisciplinary understanding of moral issues.
