Abstract
Modernity brings about blessings but meanwhile man has paid the price. In many respects, the presentday ecological crisis owes directly to modernity. The conflicts between environment protection and economic development originate from the market system, industrialization, consumerism, and the thinking mode and value that form the base of modern philosophy. Thus, traditional idea of modernity must be improved so as to establish a new and practicable notion
