Feasible  principles  on  ethics  and  moral  should  be  constructed  on  the basis of a new specific philosophy on a human being.    This paper criticizes first the traditional human philosophy that separates the being of a man from his objective surroundings and their dynamic change and influence.    Based upon  the  genetic  epistemology  of  Jean  Piaget,  Confucius’  statement  on  the stages of his life, and Inetzsche’s view on the changes of human spirit, this article tries to articulate a new human philosophy that integrates dialectically the objectivity and subjectivity for a human being and its whole life.
