Form the Confucius’ Great harmony and Plato’s ideal country to the Utopia and Sun City in the western society, and the designing and the practice of the communism cause of Marxist, all these ideologies and practices have produced a long and great epic of the seeking and quest of ideal social living and justice order for humankind. Deontology, the advent and development of which has affected the direction and thought route of the western modern Ethnics, is of great importance in the developmental history of the western modern Ethnics.
