摘要

透過詳盡的田野調查，本文分析了鹿港傳統小木工匠的勞動生涯中，道德與技術二者之間的緊密關連。自學徒期開始，貫穿傳統工匠的一生的勞動生涯，工匠個人的品格、心性與技術是被同等重視與要求的，並且在勞動實踐的過程中取得了具體的關連。因此，這種道德並非僅是一種外在強制的規範或要求，也並非是所謂「唯心」領域的存在，道德是一種生活中的自我要求與實踐，是具有主體性的自我提升過程。

This article intends to explore the close relation between the joiners' moral attitudes and skills in their careers in Lugang. Through a long-term fieldwork, it is found in this study that an artisan's moral character, personality, and use of technology are equally valued and required through the process of life-long training, and the inter-relationship is fulfilled and materialized in the course of his/her labor process. The moral attitude, therefore, is by no means an external enforced standard or requirement, nor is it an 'idealist' existence; on the contrary, it is a kind of self-cultivation in an artisan's everyday life, and more importantly, a kind of fulfillment of labor subjectivity.
