Wefirst define the philosophical meaning of Subject (Human), illustrating that Subject issome person living in a certain society, engaging in the practice and awarenessactivities. Human is the unity of groups and individuals, which is the counterpart ofsocial subject.

The gap on theknowledge and ability mainly register as the mismatch between technical expertise andthe development of modern productive forces, between economic knowledge orbehavior and modern development of commodity economy, between democraticconsciousness or abilities and the development of democracy, between the scientificknowledge level and the science and technology’ development of modern society.Chapter4mainly concerns on the elevation of subject qualities.
