Abstract

The basic contradiction of modernity is reflective of its operating mechanism caused by solipsism of the specific nature of human existence, objective and abstract system of contradictions. Reconstruction of modernity needs to overcome the reflexive solipsism. Hegel's dialectic of recognition, Habermas's communicative action theory and practice of Marxism-community, is a modern reconstruction of the three different paths. Communities of practice that Marx fought for life of human society of free men the ideal philosophy of expression. The contradiction between concrete human existence and abstract objective system, which is the consequence of reflective solipsism the operating mechanism of modernity, is the fundamental contradiction of modernity. To reconstruct modernity needs to overcome reflective solipsism. Hegel's recognition dialectics and habermas's theory of communication action and marx's practical community are three kinds of way of the reconstruction of modernity
