From the action which conforms to logos and is it's own end, as the two basic characters of Aristotle 's praxis, this paper educes the problem of the relationship between I and the other, next begins to make the description of the other 's existence, then from the phenomenon into the nation, analyses the essence of the other and my "being" state, viz. the meanings of being-towards-the-other, then on this stand, in a new frame of theory, reinterprets above mentioned tow basic characters of praxis, these are the first part of this paper. To some extent, in this part potentially the discussion still goes along circling the "I", that is to say, it make the explanation of the content from three aspects, viz. the object of action, the end of action and the course of action. So, in the next part, the paper tries to put the "inter-subject" in the place of participant of action instead of the "I", on the basis of reflection on traditional theories about subject and modus of subjective-objective distinction, thus the praxis will be newly considered as the course of action which always have had the ability of self-restriction and self-perfection. This kind of praxis is not only the individual best mode of action, but also the only approach leading to the ethical community whose orientation is equal communion and harmonious coexistence among the whole people.
