Abstract

From the perspective of definition of modern ethics, design ethics belong to a kind of caring ethics and responsibility ethics essentially. The so-called responsibility ethics are the concentrated presentation of moral philosophy in the new technology age. The greatest feature of such ethical view is to transfer the abstract value without concrete direction to a kind of future-oriented values that is really responsible for their own behavioral consequences. Confucian Classical Aesthetic Concepts Integrating "Truth, Goodness and Beauty" Expressed Design Ethics. The main ideas of Mohist ethics that influence China's ancient creation are "valuing practicality", "economical use" and "communication." Taoist thinking is negative and unpretentious. Viewing from the perspective of modern design, Taoist design ethics system is mainly reflected as showing respect for nature.
