(Abstract)
Xu Xuan
What is the location of the humankind’s consensus over environment in the entity of practical wisdom? Philosophers usually hope to solve realistic problems by changing people’s mode of thinking. The author offers us a graphic showing the patterned modes of analytical thinking in a community. She names the model of analytical thinking as “rule-of-law thinking of the equilibrium of compensation ratio.” In the system of the equilibrium of compensation ratio, the state and individual, the fundamental requirement is the equilibrium of compensation ratio of the arrangements of the interests of enterprise and society, market and government, first occupier and later one. The graph can also be a metaphor of the layout of humankind’s knowledge system, engineering of social system, law empire configuration, division of labor in social life, and constitution of social organism. In its nature, it is an entity of values recognized by the humankind commonly. The model can also applied to the analysis of the global political economy. The global entity of practical wisdom is none other than a concept of community uplifted to the global level from the national level.
