Abstract: As a main ideology of the capitalism, individualism is not the result of nous development, it has profoundly practical root. There is not a necessary relation between individualism and civil society. Betweenindividualism and collectivism, there is a fundamental conflict. For consolidating the dominant station of collectivism in citizen ethics building, we must understand individualism entirely.

Key words: individualism, civil society, collectivism

摘要： 个人主义作为资本主义社会的主流意识形态,有其深刻的现实根源,并不是理性发展的结果。市民社会与个人主义之间并没有必然联系。个人主义与集体主义存在根本的冲突。为了巩固集体主义在公民道德建设的主导地位,我们必须全面地认识个人主义。
