试论“普世价值”

人们所说的“普世价值”概念是多义的，可以分为客观形态的普世价值与观念形态的普世价值。对于所有人来说，其跟外界客体的普遍价值关系，由此而言的普世价值，是确实客观存在的。人类能够持续生存和发展，就依赖于这种具有极大普遍性的普世价值。但是，观念形态的普世价值却是不可能产生和存在的。不过，某些人在一定范围内、一定问题上的确可以达成某种价值共识，这不仅是可能的，而且也是必要的。

The＂universal values＂ can be put into objective and subjective categories. The objective universal values reflect the relationship between people and the objective world. They are objective in that human beings have survived and thrived thanks to these universal values. In contrast, it is unlikely that＇ universal values in the subjective form＇ exist, though certain common values shared to a certain degree by some people on certain problems are not only probable but also necessary.
