Modernity and post-modernity shape all the lifestyle of current society.Attacking instrumental reason for missing of uniqueness of personality,modern reflection pushes zeitgeist an inclination for human's being,which culminates in deeply addicted to diverse personality.Different from the focus on humanity after recognizing structure for sociological academics,for the mad masses,focusing on oneself is misidentified as static self,resulting in rejecting on social adaptation and dampening reason because of lack of structural insight.Relativism sweeps through masses simply cloaking by the entrenchment of self individually.Inferring from theoretical heritage of Bauman,Charles Taylor,Ortega,Habermas,etc,thinking essence of relativism is inward flowing of thinking pattern as an opposite of outward info-absorbing,hence,relativism poisons reason and self—moulding.Moulding self depends on social thinking pattern.To defeat relativism is to defeat individualism.In the pretext of fair-estimating personality and cherishing soul,relativism refuses the reality of social accumulation and comparability of thought and reason.Innovative point of this paper is to bring relativism under life-ology to the scanning of sociology.Unless touching thinking pattern of every-one,can we assail individualism directly.
