第三次启蒙(下)

The Third Enlightenment Movement (Ⅱ)

There were two enlightenment movements in the human history.The first occurred in the Spring and Autumn Period(770-476B.C) and the Period of Warring States(475-221B.C) in China,and ancient Greece Period in the West.This is called the enlightenment movement of agricultural societies.The second one took place in the 1700's and is called the enlightenment movement of industrial societies.In the late 1900's when Human goes into a post-industrial society,it is necessary to have a new enlightenment movement called the enlightenment movement of the post-industrial society.This will be the third enlightenment movement,and will be a constructive enlightenment movement.If we say that the enlightenment movement of industrial societies established the law spirit,we can also say that the third enlightenment movement will establish the ethical spirit;If we say that industrial society set up a social framework of a division of labor and cooperation,we can also say that the third enlightenment movement will set up a society based on the idea of cooperation.
