First in the terms of direction, flexible dimension is a political thinking which start from the bottom and is lateral "bottom-up",meanwhile it has to return to original state in the vertical orientationSecondly, from the objective point of view, flexible dimension is to Resurrects desire to a higher level in human nature and to change political problems to moral problems that is advocating virtue politics.Thirdly, from the operating level, thinking with flexible dimension has more of a critical visional constructional of idealism orientation.
