Abstract
The difference between ancient value and modern value brings about the difference between ancient political thoughts and modern political thoughts. Ancient political thoughts based on a whole distribute politics as responsibility, which existed in both ancient Greek and ancient China. Although modern political thoughts based on individual distribute politics as rights, which exist in modern society, it is necessary to learn from ancient political thoughts to construct well-being modern society. From the angle of view between ancient Greek politics and ncient Chinese politics, the Author compares the idea of responsibility in ancient western philosophy with that in ancient China and explains that responsibility has priority in ancient political ideas and that ancient political thoughts have effects on modern politics.
