The basic concepts of morality include concepts. Summary: The concept of morality. Moral leader. Individuality is

Considering the general theoretical issues of crimes against morality in the criminal law of the Republic of Kazakhstan, first of all, one should dwell on the very concept of morality. This issue is important not only from cognitive points, but also from the standpoint of lawmaking and law enforcement practice. From this or that approach to solving this problem depends on the fundamental position from which one should approach the assessment of the content and essence of crimes of the category under consideration. Depending on how the conceptual approaches to problem solving are formulated, both theoretical and applied aspects of the regulation of crimes against morality will be solved accordingly.

It should be noted that for many years there have been disputes about the understanding of the category of morality. Although in the literature, both scientific and non-scientific, very often they turn to the problems of morality, morality and spirituality.

The question of understanding morality in the legal context in the scientific literature is still ambiguous.

Philosophers, like lawyers, express different views on the range of social relations that make up the essence of morality, and therefore each of them defines this objectively existing social phenomenon in his own way.

Morality cannot be considered in isolation from the concepts of morality and spirituality. Nevertheless, the question of their identity is among the controversial ones, as well as whether these categories should be distinguished at all. In literature, morality and morality are more often interpreted as phenomena of the same order.

If we turn to existing definitions, then most often moral norms are interpreted as rules of a general nature, based on people's ideas about good and evil, dignity, honor, justice, etc., serving as a regulator and measure for evaluating the activities of individuals, social groups, organizations.

In the sphere of ethical relations, morality acts as an internal self-regulator of the individual's behavior, his conscious, internally motivated way of participating in social life and social relations. For example, V.S. Nersesyants says this: “a distinctive feature of morality is that it expresses the internal position of individuals, their free and self-conscious decision of what is good and evil, duty and conscience in human actions, relationships and deeds” .

Moral norms act as external regulators of behavior. Thus, where an individual accepted, assimilated and turned collective moral ideas, values, norms into his internal attitude and was guided by them in his behavior, according to philosophers, there is a combination and coordinated action of both regulators - moral and moral. ; In principle, there are always two moments in ethical phenomena: personal (internal freedom of the individual and self-conscious motivation by him of the rules of moral behavior and moral assessments) and an objective, non-personal moment (moral views, values, mores, forms and norms of human relations). If we proceed from this rule, then the first of the noted points relates to the characteristics of morality, the second - to morality. Therefore, a certain message follows, in accordance with which, when talking about the morality of social groups, communities and society as a whole, we are essentially talking about morality, more precisely about group and general social mores, values, views, attitudes, norms and institutions. This statement is perhaps the most common and often used in the legal literature and in dissertation research. ;


At the same time, being a special form of social consciousness and a type of social relations, morality is one of the ways of normative regulation of human behavior. Responsibility in morality has a spiritual, ideal or idealized character. Having in mind the condemnation or approval of certain actions, moral responsibility acts in the form of moral assessments that a person must realize, internally accept and, accordingly, adjust his actions and behavior.

In turn, specialists in the field of legal ethics also differentiate the concepts of "morality", "morality" and "moral consciousness". For example, according to A.S. Koblikov, moral consciousness is one of the elements of morality, representing its subjective side.

Researcher M.S. Strogovich, opposing the identification of morality and moral consciousness, wrote: “Moral consciousness is the views, beliefs, ideas about good and evil, about worthy and unworthy behavior, and morality is the social norms operating in society that regulate the actions, behavior of people, their relationship."

There are different approaches to understanding the nature and specifics of morality. Methodologically, two main concepts can be distinguished: historical-genetic and historical-systemic.

The historical-genetic method is one of the most common in social research. It developed based on evolutionary ideas, and its essence is the consistent discovery of the properties, functions and changes of the studied reality in the process of its historical movement. In this case, the history of ethics is considered as a cyclogenesis of ethical systems, where at each stage of their development, the qualitative characteristics of these systems are highlighted.

In our case, the second approach, the historical-system approach, is of greater interest. Morality here appears as a kind of spiritual and practical production of a person as a social and moral being. Such an idea of ​​morality draws a line towards recognizing it as a side of human life, a through element of all (including legal) social practice. With this approach, it is emphasized that a whole series of splits in the normative system is associated with different conditions of spiritual and practical "production" - between official and unofficial morality, between expediency and morality, between public opinion and conscience.

Such discrepancies give rise to numerous contradictions between different regulatory systems, including those that are the subject of our study. For example, between a personal perception of morality and the official binding of legal requirements, between a sense of moral duty and the rationality of a legal norm, etc. An individual finds himself simultaneously, as it were, in several "axiological worlds", embodying in each of them different, sometimes incompatible, assessments and aspirations.

In general, the historical-systemic model of explaining morality comes from a philosophical tradition that represents morality as a side of human activity based on the dichotomy of good and evil. At the same time, it does not take into account the regulatory nature of morality as an essential aspect of its relationship with law.

In the same vein, the outstanding Russian philosopher B.C. described the social purpose of morality. Solovyov: “The very moral principle instructs us to take care of the common good, since without this concern for personal morality becomes selfish, i.e. immoral. The commandment of moral perfection, - the philosopher argued, - is given to us ... so that we do something for implementation in the environment in which we live, i.e., in other words, the moral principle must certainly be embodied in social activity.

Meanwhile, as it follows from the above definitions, morality, like morality, is always social in its content and is closely connected with the rules of law. For example, S.A. Komarov believes that public morality is based on a system of norms and rules, ideas, customs and traditions that prevail in society and reflect the views, ideas and rules that arise as a direct reflection of the conditions of public life in the minds of people in the form of a category of good and evil, laudable and shameful, encouraged and condemned by society, honor, conscience, duty, dignity, etc.

Morality in the Big Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language, edited by S.A. Kuznetsov is understood as the internal (spiritual and mental) qualities of a person, based on the ideals of goodness, duty, honor, etc., which manifest themselves in relation to people or nature. The spirituality of man is component morality. Very often the concept of spirituality is equated with religion. This is most likely due to the fact that we are talking about the soul of a person, his subordination to some higher powers. Let us leave this teaching to the theologians. We state the fact that spirituality is woven into the fabric of morality and is inseparable from it.

The spirituality of a person, personality, individual is revealed through self-knowledge of one's own being, one's own behavior, one's own feelings and one's own desires. A highly spiritual person is not capable of actions that do not correspond to his inner feeling, are not consistent with his mind. The spiritual life of a person is connected with the knowledge of the world, the purpose and meaning of life. With a misunderstanding of these categories, and more often a loss of the meaning of life, the loss of one's own "I", crises of a person's spiritual health can occur. And this, in turn, requires treatment, which is what modern psychology is doing, i.e. soul cure. Let us leave this topic to psychologists and return to the concepts of morality and morality.

Based on the foregoing, it should be noted that morality and morality categories are not identical. Morality should be considered in conjunction with spirituality.

A fairly clear position on this issue is set out in the work of S. Harutyunyan “Identity: from theory to practice”. Exploring the culturological interpretation of the identity crisis, she tried to compare morality and morality. At the same time, he finds them to be completely different, non-identical concepts. In her opinion:

1) morality is always a social group phenomenon: the morality of a family, a formed social group, class morality, etc.

Morality is always universal, there is no morality of a group, class, party;

2) morality is a set of norms and regulations, a social group, imposed from the outside. Morality "grows" from within and has nothing to do with norms and standards;

3) morality is a means of regulating social behavior and was created primarily for management. Morality, "growing" from within, is primarily directed at itself. If morality is directed outward, then morality is directed inward;

4) a moral act is evaluated from the outside and can be either encouraged or punished. A moral act is beyond punishment-encouragement, that is, there is always self-attitude and self-esteem.

Experiences associated with an immoral act are always outwardly oriented and have nothing to do with deep personal experiences. An act associated with moral experiences always has an intrapersonal basis. It is difficult to disagree with such an opinion. Of course, morality and morality are not some static indicators of human life. They are subject to constant movement and development. An individual during his life must choose and build his actions in accordance with the rules and norms of behavior that have developed in society, taking into account the prevailing (or cumulative) own spiritual and moral worldview. Therefore, spiritual and moral development plays important role in the course of a person's life. Perhaps this is a somewhat simplified formula for the process of human self-realization. But within the framework of this study, we have made an attempt to define the concepts and categories of the phenomenon under study, the mechanisms for their implementation in conditions of sociocultural instability and a crisis of morality.

The process of interaction of morality and morality in the course of personal growth is in a state of conflict if a person has developed morality. “The absence of a conflict,” writes S. Harutyunyan, “indicates that there is no personal growth, the complexity of resolving this conflict is presented as the complexity of personal growth. The normal organic personal attitude in these conflicts is the primacy of morality over morality. Ultimately, the relationship between morality and morality is the central and most complex problem of the formation of a personality, which must be solved on the basis of practical psychology, philosophy, and pedagogy. At the same time, the lack of spirituality is an obstacle to the development of the individual.

Summarizing the above, we can come to the following conclusions.

1. Morality and morality categories are not identical. Morality as a universal human category always has an intra-personal basis. Morality acts as a set of prescriptions for society.

2. Spiritual and moral development of a person provides him mental health and should be considered in the context of the object of infringement in the criminal law in the group of crimes against morality.

Good It is a moral expression of what contributes to the happiness of people. The concept of "good" is opposed to the concept of "evil". Good and evil manifest themselves as normative-evaluative concepts and phenomena, and depending on what is to be evaluated, they distinguish virtues that have moral value, and vices that do not contain it. The most famous complexes of virtues include wisdom, courage, moderation, justice; the Christian virtues of faith, hope, love, repentance and humility, mercy and compassion; virtues of the ethics of non-violence: tolerance, consent, understanding. Manifestations of goodness in life are associated with the values ​​of health, peace, ideas of altruism, voluntariness of an act, duty, attitude towards a person as a goal. To manifestations evil refer various forms destructiveness and deviations, hostility and indifference to a person, attitude towards him as a means, sinfulness and depravity, selfish orientations.

Justice- this is a common moral sanction of the joint life of people, considered mainly from the point of view of clashing desires, interests, duties; justice is a morally sanctioned proportionality in the distribution of benefits and hardships of people living together, the degree of perfection of the very method of cooperating activities and mutual balancing of conflicting interests in society and the state. Justice requires punishment for evil and retribution for good.

Happiness. There are many definitions of it in various dictionaries and encyclopedias. This is due to the capacity, depth, versatility of this concept and the inevitable subjectivity of its assessment. “Happiness is a concept denoting the highest good as a complete, self-sufficient state of life; universally recognized ultimate subjective goal of human activity” (Guseinov A. A. Happiness // New Philosophical Encyclopedia. M., 2001. Vol. 3). The most concise and capacious is the prevailing definition of happiness as the absence of unhappiness, or life without grief, according to V. I. Dahl.

Conscience- the ability of a person, critically evaluating himself, to realize and experience his inconsistency with the due - failure to fulfill his duty; phenomenological manifestations of conscience are internal emotional discomfort (“reproaches, pangs of conscience”), feelings of guilt and remorse.

Duty is inseparable from the individual's awareness of it as his internal task. A conscious subject perceives duty as a split of consciousness into “I want” and “I must”. This split is necessary condition its functioning. Duty means a morally reasoned compulsion to act, a moral necessity fixed as a subjective principle of behavior.



Honor(according to V. I. Dahl) is the inner moral dignity of a person, valor, honesty, nobility of soul and a clear conscience. The content of this concept also includes the ability to keep one's word and fulfill one's duty. The understanding of honor is determined by the position of a person in a particular social environment, therefore there is no single code of honor that is equivalent for all. Socio-group, estate, national, professional and other social relations have a decisive influence on the formation of codes of honor (for example, the noble code of honor included satisfaction, satisfaction of claims related to insulting the dignity of the individual; this required a fight, duel, ending in injury or death one of the opponents).

The considered concepts of morality (or morality), together with similar concepts, constitute the most important part of the science of ethics.

Ethics - it is a philosophical science, the object of study of which is morality, morality as a form of social consciousness. Ethics explores the place of morality in the system of other social relations, analyzes its nature and internal structure, studies the origin and historical development of morality, theoretically substantiates one or another of its systems (Philosophical Encyclopedic Dictionary. M., 1989. P. 776.). Ethics includes, in addition to the philosophical analysis of morality and the history of ethical teachings, normative ethics, the theory of moral education, as well as general methodological problems of professional and applied ethics, issues of sociology and psychology of morality.

Professional ethics plays a big role in people's lives, in the activities of medical professionals, scientists, engineers, etc. As an example of professional ethics, we can consider the ethics of scientists, which is associated with the search for truth, solving scientific problems, as well as relationships between colleagues. Here, despite the originality, there are predominantly general moral and ethical principles, especially if disputes and discussions arise. There are many facts that indicate that within the scientific community, the principles of morality are sometimes violated. Let us recall, for example, the once-occurring discussion on the problems of genetics between the school of N. I. Vavilov and the views of T. D. Lysenko and his adherents. On the one hand, as history has shown, there was a perspective concept, that is, truth, on the other, a concept of a mechanolamarckian nature, that is, a delusion. Unfortunately, in the 1940s, the second concept won. Here moral principles of an opposite nature clashed.

Morally contradictory situations sometimes develop in the scientific communities of Western countries. Professor of the University of California T. Shibutani, for example, states the peculiar environment in which representatives of social psychology work: “Some of those who occupy key positions in highly valued organizations create entire intellectual empires ... As in many other form fractions. Sometimes discrepancies are discussed openly, in worthy critiques, but the consideration of alternative hypotheses, especially when the evidence is not clear, often results in vengeful personal quarreling... Sadistic criticism of views that differ from those of the leaders in the field often results in widespread opportunism. Those who defend unorthodox theories are subject to negative social sanctions, in much the same way as heretics in the religious world ”(Shibutani T. Social psychology. M., 1969, pp. 501-502).

The normal ethical atmosphere within a well-organized team includes an awareness that scientific creativity is inherently anti-conformist. At the same time, moderate conformism, according to some scientists, is always needed. In any case, the morality of a scientist, no matter what place he occupies in the scientific hierarchy, should not be the morality of an individualist, not an egoist hostile to dissent, but the morality of an honest and decent person. Search complexity truth in science, achieving grains of truth through systems of relatively reliable knowledge by overcoming inevitable mistakes necessitates the researcher to have such qualities as objectivity, intellectual honesty, kindness, adherence to principles, masculinity, self-criticism.

The concept itself "true" in the Russian language is not limited to reason (rationalism), but has a side that leads it to moral ideas. IN " explanatory dictionary of the living Great Russian language” by V. I. Dahl, “truth” is explained as “everything that is true, authentic, accurate, just”; “now the truth answers this word”; “... true - constituting the truth; truthful, just, undoubted, unfalse, sincere, unfeigned” (T. 2, p. 60). Truthfulness and justice must be inherent in a true seeker of truth. The first requirement of the spirit of science is objectivity as a necessary component of developed morality. Academician A. D. Alexandrov notes that the desire to find the truth, to spread and approve it among people is an essential element of the moral position in relation to people (Truth as a moral value // Science and values. Novosibirsk. 1987, pp. 27-35). Knowledge of the truth enriches a person, allows him to better navigate reality. Therefore, the lie is not only contrary to the truth. The one who lies robs a person, prevents him from understanding what is happening and finding right ways, constrains his freedom, imposes on him the foundations of a distorted view of reality. The distortion and concealment of truth has always served to oppress the individual. Disrespect for truth, indifference to it express disrespect, indifference to people; one must completely despise people in order to speak to them with aplomb, not caring about the truth. The concept itself "Truth", writes A. D. Alexandrov, covers both objective and moral truth, and objective truth, and moral correctness. In the depths of the people's consciousness, these concepts were united in the closest way, and if now we understand their deep difference, then we must also understand their deep connection. Without truth, there can be no moral rightness, and truth cannot be discovered and affirmed without the same condition of objectivity that is included in serious morality.

Every person in his life has come across the concept of morality more than once. However, not everyone knows its true meaning. In the modern world, the problem of morality is very acute. After all, many people lead a wrong and dishonest way of life. What is human morality? How is it related to such concepts as ethics and morality? What behavior can be considered moral and why?

What does the term "morality" mean?

Very often morality is identified with morality and ethics. However, these concepts are not exactly the same. Morality is a set of norms and values ​​of a particular person. It includes the individual's ideas about good and evil, about how one should and should not behave in various situations.

Each person has their own standards of morality. What seems normal to one person is completely unacceptable to another. So, for example, some people have a positive attitude towards civil marriage and do not see anything wrong with it. Others consider such cohabitation immoral and strongly condemn premarital relationships.

Principles of Moral Conduct

Even though morality is purely individual concept, in modern society there are still common principles. First of all, these include the equality of the rights of all people. This means that in relation to a person there should be no discrimination based on gender, race or any other grounds. All people are equal before the law and the courts, all have the same rights and freedoms.

The second principle of morality is based on the fact that a person is allowed to do everything that does not run counter to the rights of other people and does not infringe on their interests. This includes not only issues regulated by law, but also moral and ethical standards. For example, cheating on a loved one is not a crime. However, from the point of view of morality, the one who deceives causes suffering to the individual, which means that he infringes on his interests and acts immorally.

The meaning of morality

Some people believe that morality is only a necessary condition in order to go to heaven after death. During life, it absolutely does not affect the success of a person and does not bring any benefits. Thus, the meaning of morality lies in the cleansing of our souls from sin.

In fact, such an opinion is erroneous. Morality is necessary in our life not only for a particular person, but also for society as a whole. Without it, arbitrariness will come in the world, and people will destroy themselves. As soon as the eternal values ​​disappear in society and the usual norms of behavior are forgotten, its gradual degradation begins. Theft, depravity, impunity flourishes. And if immoral people come to power, the situation is aggravated even more.

Thus, the quality of life of mankind directly depends on how moral it is. Only in a society where basic moral principles are respected and observed can people feel secure and happy.

Morality and Morality

Traditionally, the concept of "morality" is identified with morality. In many cases, these words are used interchangeably, and most people do not see a fundamental difference between them.

Morality is certain principles and standards of human behavior in various situations, developed by society. In other words, it is a public point of view. If a person follows established rules, it can be called moral, if ignored, its behavior is immoral.

What is morality? The definition of this word differs from morality in that it refers not to society as a whole, but to each individual person. Morality is a rather subjective concept. What is normal for some is unacceptable for others. A person can be called moral or immoral, based only on his personal opinion.

Modern Morality and Religion

Everyone knows that any religion calls a person to virtue and respect for basic moral values. However modern society puts freedom and human rights at the head of everything. In this regard, some of God's commandments have lost their relevance. So, for example, few people can devote one day a week to serving the Lord because of the busy schedule and fast pace of life. And the commandment “do not commit adultery” for many is a restriction on the freedom to build personal relationships.

Classical moral principles concerning the value of human life and property, help and compassion for others, condemnation of lies and envy remain in force. Moreover, now some of them are regulated by law and can no longer be justified by supposedly good intentions, for example, the fight against non-believers.

Modern society also has its own moral values, which are not indicated in traditional religions. These include the need for constant self-development and self-improvement, purposefulness and energy, the desire to achieve success and live in abundance. Modern people condemn violence in all its manifestations, intolerance and cruelty. They respect the rights of man and his desire to live as he sees fit. Modern morality focuses on the self-improvement of a person, the transformation and development of society as a whole.

The problem of youth morality

Many people say that modern society has already begun to morally decay. Indeed, crime, alcoholism and drug addiction flourish in our country. Young people do not think about what morality is. The definition of this word is completely alien to them.

Very often, modern people put at the head of everything such values ​​as having fun, idle life and fun. At the same time, they completely forget about morality, guided only by their selfish needs.

Modern youth has completely lost such personal qualities as patriotism and spirituality. For them, morality is something that can interfere with freedom, limit it. Often people are ready to commit any act in order to achieve their goals, without thinking at all about the consequences for others.

Thus, today in our country the problem of youth morality is very acute. It will take more than one decade and a lot of efforts on the part of the government to solve it.
