Abstract:Public and private character as two forms of the existence of the individual are a complex mix together, but in the process of human society from the traditional to the modern times, especially in the west, there was a phenomenon in which private character surpassed and eroded the public. The reason is that pre-modern public attributes of exploitation, the development of romanticism, the progress of science and the rise of industrial revolution promote the private erosion of the public. Although it is beneficial to human liberation and individual consciousness awakening, the decline of the public may inevitably produce a series of public crises, such as lack of faith, private expansion and loss of cooperation, the social and economic development with unpredictable risks. Therefore, we should learn from the shortcomings of modern development in the west, and revisit the importance of publicity for our modern life, and strive to build the harmonious modern public life through creating public values, public morality and public order planning.
