Easy to see that the traditional moral practice and Virtue in the crack, on the one hand for the modern understanding of classical virtue has gone wrong, on the other hand, the classical virtue out of touch with modern society emerged.For the moral confusion of modern society, the issues raised in accordance with this article - attempt to solve - Adjustment reasonable analysis of the context, the core value of mining to Plato as the representative of the classical virtue of enlightenment, placing modern open society given its modern value.
