Abstract

Modernity,in the use of the word,is a complicated concept in the modern academic speech environment.Modernivty,as a word withthe characteristics of modern times,is based on the values of now and future from the point of view of senmantics.Social theorists give the different explanations on the sense of modernity,such as a period of time,a regional attribute,a general social situation,a initial materialization of newly emerging belief.The standard content of modernity is based on the subject principle and rational freedom in the various fields.The various attacks and defence from the thinkers of the left and the right reveal the internal ills of modernity.The debate between modernity and post-modernism reveals the sense of modernity of enlightenment in modern society within the vision of aesthetic modernity,which provides a viewing angle to rethink the modern theory of Frankfort school.
