Self-consciousness and Collective-consciousness of Feng Zhi's Thought in the 1940's

Feng Zhi reached another peak of his creative career in the 1940's.During this period,strong self-consciousness of intellectual analysis was demonstrated in his works.Meanwhile,he began to put more emphasis on individual's care for the outside world and focused more on social realities and the collective.It seems that Feng Zhi kept a balance between self-consciousness and collective-consciousness in his life philosophy in the 1940s.However,there was a hidden antinomy in Feng Zhi's thoughts,leading to his seemingly abrupt turn from emphasizing individualism to embracing collectivism in the late 1940s.From the analysis of Feng Zhi,we could learn something about the complex relationship between the need of modern intellectuals to establish individual subjectivity and the realities of Chinese society,national salvation and collectivism.
