We deduce and demonstrate the following basic conclusion： modem China＇s attempt at resolving the dichotomy of liberalism and conservatism of moral cultural traditions shows that the country＇s post-tradition ethical culture faces the dilemma of whether to hold on to tradition or abandon it. However, the final result may be that modem China is still ＂within tradition＂ rather than ＂outside tradition.＂ The only difference is that new socialist morality has risen dramatically to prominence out of intellectual debates in the last century and has become the mainstream moral culture of modem China. However, this does not represent something that is purely alien or ＂outside tradition,＂ but rather a new stage in the development of Chinese moral tradition and Chinese modernity; it is still part of the chain of transmitted variants in China＇s long, profound and continuous moral cultural tradition.展开更多
