    On the one hand,personality is the exceptional,and individuality is the general,one’s selfhood,and one’s steady,unvarying,and whole property.Personality is only one’s psychological selfhood,and one’s steady,unvarying,and whole psychological state.On the other hand,personality is the general,and moral character is the exceptional.Personality is the steady,unvarying,and whole psychological state that one shows in his long-term behaviors,while moral character is one’s moral selfhood,the steady psychological selfhood that one forms and shows in his moral behaviors,and the moral personality and moral individuality that one forms and shows in the long time when he abides by or departs from moral behaviors.

    Examining the concept of “thing-in-itself” by Kant,we may see that Kant’s double implications of “thing-in-itself” are “unknowable” and “thinkable”,and we may distinguish the relationship between “thing-in-itself” and phenomena.Based on this,we may further demonstrate that “thing-in-itself” provides basis for the existence of freedom and make the co-existence possible fo
    r freedom and the order of nature.It is because of the relationship and significance of this basis that makes the concept of “thing-in-itself” enter the field of practice along with the concept of freedom,and they together form the arc for the building of sense.

    During the time of the Central Soviet Area,the Chinese Communist Party began to pay much attention to commerce in order to break through Kuomintang’s economic blockade and improve people’s living conditions,and the market became prosperous.However,the political ideology of worker-peasant democratic dictatorship caused the industrialists and businessmen to lose their legal status,resulting in the absence of the principal part of market,and the market became withered.Reviewing this period of history,we may see that the rise and fall of a market has a great deal to do with political ideology.

    The Cultural thought of The Orient Culture Clique during the May 4th should be commentated in modern China nationalism history.In the face of national and cultural double crisis in 1920s,the Orient Culture Clique considered none but Chinese national traditional culture for saving the nation.Therefore,they claimed to build strong nation by reconstructing national culture.The cultural nationalism logic reflects a sort of Chinese spirit to get over national self abasement,strengthen national self-confidence and national solidarity.At the same time,the Orient Culture Clique possessed obvious parochial character.

    The labor standard system is the lowest standard about working conditions and labor rights prescribed by law,which has a strong sense of public interest.The situation that our country encountered many difficulties implementing the labor standard system conveys that only by traditional litigation can’t we resolve labor standard disputes effectively.What 's more,the labor standard system corresponds to the public interest litigation in a high degree,which calls us to introduce labor public interest litigation system in the field  where employers violet the lowest standard of the labor protection.We should establish the improved labor standard public interest litigation system to protect the minimum labor rights defined by law,so as to protect the basic rights of laborers.

    The guided cultural character of criminal law refers to its cultural peculiarity to guide human behavior.It makes criminal law guidable,cultural,humanistic,and autonomous.In our country,which overemphasizes the separation between religion and law and in which the holiness of law is not granted by religion,the guidable cultural character of criminal law must be modeled so that it can develop humanistic spirit,realize criminal rule-of-law,and guarantee human right.The modeling should rely on the concrete practice of law.In the criminal legislation level,we should adsorb the excellent culture in traditional criminal law and make individual legal interests prominent in the legal interests system while transplanting the advanced system;in the criminal judicature level,we should confirm the independent and open position of judicature by reform;and in addition,we should make legality more publicized.

    Plato explored deeply into beauty and art,the two essential categories in esthetics,for the first time from the philosophical perspective.He thought that beauty itself was the reason to create beauty,and art was the copy of realistic world modeled by beauty itself and that beauty and art belonged to two separated world.The separation of beauty and art was the foundation for Plato’s theory that art possesses beauty itself,which was a bridge to link the logos world and art world theoretically.Whether he was exploring beauty itself from a philosophical perspective or he was calling that art should take beauty itself as its model,Plato’s purpose was to cultivate harmonious city-state citizens and serve his political ideal and philosophical pursuit.So Plato was the first to discover esthetics problems as well as the first to really and greatly deny art.
