Abstract: Rational Individualism neither rational nor realistic. There is a logical contradiction in it. Rational individualism is not a reflection of the commodity economy, but a inevitable result of commodity economy under capitalism. The traditional civil society is the secular society of capitalism at heart. It is the economic foundation of the political society. There is no economic foundation for rational individualism in china now.

Key words: civil society, individualism rational, individualism morality

摘要： 合理个人主义既不合理,也不现实,它存在着逻辑矛盾。合理个人主义不是商品经济的反映,而是资本主义私有制商品经济的必然。传统意义的市民社会在本质上是资本主义性质的世俗社会,它是政治社会的经济基础。我国当今不存在合理个人主义的经济基础。
