The government function is not only the simple compound of the obligation and capability but also has its own inner value requirements. As a special function bearing subject, the central government differs from the sub-national government and the non-government organization in the way of obligation and capability as well as the undertaking of the special moral demand. In the value structure of the government, the public interest becomes the core value and the theoretical basis of the central government. The core functional requirements can also be proved after the second restoration follows the first restoration which is from the government’s specific function to the two basic funtion. Under the core-periphery function structure, the core function as an essential function unifies and leads the periphery of the specific function within the hidden existence. This explains the reason that the social order and disorder in the dynamic social development and the persistent government reform. As the national administrative machanism, the central government is the subject in the social system as well as the public governance subject of the sub-government and the non-government. Qua organization’s action body, the central government produces itself and the social system in the interation with other social governance subject, so it is a dualism exsitence. However, the public communication relationship of the central government is an ethical one which asks for the value intension of the public good because the feature of the comprehensive communication in the public life. The ethical demand reflects in the ethical regulation of its function.From the field-association to the field-disassociation, from the field-disassociation to the field-amalgamation, the public life changes so the central government function focus more and more on the living world, so it can be analyzies in the public living world as a whole actor. However, in this world, the central government and the citizen is subjected to a bidirectional ethical requirement and constructs each other in the communication. So when the society is enslaved by the economic rationality then falls into the value jungle and the dependence on technology is strengthened, even the self-discipline is abandoned, actually the requirement to the government and the anaclisis to the power is aslo strengthened. In the government field, the campaign-style reform innovation thought and the paradox of the power’s devolution and retraction in the horizontal inter-government relationship declares the defect of the governance rationality. What is more, in the public life of the field-amalgamation society, the decline of the public person and publicness as well as the value-lost of the public life leads to the demand of going beyond the instrument rationality and the demand of a general introductory rationality when people look for a new life.However, when this new rationality need is found, the moral obligation subject-the moral rational evolution and realistic feasibility of the central government should be re-confirmed. Comparing to other publicness productive subject, the central government presents its’strong-publicness’in the dimensionality of time and space as well as country and society. In the sense of government function disintegration, the publiceness character of the central government function is presented in the value direction, the goal mode, the structural arrangement, the realization way and the function structure. Although the realization of the publicness relies to the central government and the citizen, the’strong publicness’structure offers possibility to look for a general publicness.Actually, calling for the rationality is the inner need of the politic society though the rationality in the life is always stunted by the economic rationality and the instrument rationality which leads to the real rationality is never be used in the social governance. When the new rationality need combines with the’strong publicness’, maintaining the public reson is the core function of the central government. This rationality is the requirement of the citizen ability and the rational form of the public interest dierection. Neverthenless, the public reson is not only the requirement to the subject but also the nominatum of rational society in the goal sense, not only the need of communication relations between people, but also the rational form of the communication relation between human and nature, government and society, government and citizen. However, the public reson what the central government maintains is basing on the negotiation and cooperation which is the real publicness of the ’public’ rationality that differs from the reason of the state bases on the unidirectional will of the state.Declaring the core value is the first responsibility of the central government to practise the core function, and the realization of it is no longer relying on the force of the administrative power but by producing the communication ability of the public life subject, shaping the open and comprehensive public field which can provide production space to the public reson; constructing promotional social structure; providing the external conditions such as the public communication rules so as to promote the production and reproducation of the public reson. Meanwhile, the flexible governance mechanism which focuses on education is used in the specific mechanism. But the core function of the central government has its own dilemma:the value can no longer be instilled in a forcing way; the trust between the subjects which is the basis of the public reson is hard to shape; the external mechanism of domestication relies to the empirical practice selection of the subject. It seems that an enlightenment which bases on the citizen subject which actually is the renlightment of public reson is needed so as to realize the self-government and self-restraint of the morality.
