Abstract:
Virtue ethics centers on the moral values of the subject and advocates that behavioral characteristics should be traced back to the subject itself. From this perspective， the construction of an incorruptible culture in hospitals often overemphasizes institutional constraints while weakening the supporting role of moral individuals and historical and cultural genes. Current research often regards “red doctor spirit” and “incorruptible medicine culture” as two independent categories， namely， historical heritage and contemporary norms， while ignoring their internal connections. To address these gaps， this study proposed a “double helix value decoding” framework based on virtue ethics. This framework extracts the virtue genes contained in the spirit of red doctor on the one hand， and clarifies the virtue foundation of incorruptible medicine culture on the other hand， holding that an inherent logical connection exists between them. The “double helix” structure reflected the mechanism of value metaphor inheritance in historical logic， the mechanism of value core symbiosis in theoretical logic， and the mechanism of value dynamic balance in practical logic. Such a double helix co-construction model can provide new insights for the contemporary construction of incorruptible medicine culture.
