Summary:The independent, self-disciplined, and liberal Enlightenment Subject is the foundation for the discussion of community in traditional political philosophy.

Postmodern philosophy has created a society of coexistence, borderless and liquid, based on this “multitude”, opening up new possibilities for the future of our species.

The true possibility of this community also exists in the information society.
