This article tries to probe the dispute or polemic that runs through the entire history of humanity, i.e., which is the primary factor, individual liberty or social interest? Observation of the generative causes of the major viewpoints of Liberalism and Communitarianism leads to this conclusion: in addition to the root cause of the interests of the social strata, there rather exists a difference in epistemology.
