Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Communitarianism comes from Aristotle's definition of city-state.It has become a systematic theory in the Western political philosophy.Communitarianism constructed the Philosophy Metaphysics that society primitive replaces the individual primitive,political philosophy that community center replaces Individual center and virtue philosophy that the public good replace individual rights priority.To a certain extent,this conscious theoretical construction reflects the crisis that modernity causes in the western society.However,the abstract understanding of community and tradition makes it hard to solve the dilemma between theory and practice of the modernity crisis in the western society.
