Abstract

With the modernity in full swing,the differentiation has already penetrated into the internal discipline.This kind of modernity in the differentiation effectively organizes theory production,and also leads to the crisis of theory production.Might as well say,the severe paradox exists between theory production and modern production system.It is evident that the modernity paradox makes theorists hard to obtain effective knowledge to become literary theorists.Under this situation,the crisis of the theory production has always been one after another since the 1990s,and the reconstruction that deals with it has started more than twenty years,but has had little effect.However,while asked what good theory is,the legitimacy of theory production is reconstructed through inheritance in the context of modernity,it is possible to open a new hope.Therefore,it is worth the educational world attention.
