The author generally discusses about the origin and thinking behind the „social theory“, analyzes its relationship with the past time, especially the modern capitalistic data and information ear, and relates „social sculpture“ to „rational self-interest“ developed from American mathematician – John Nash’s theory. Through the competition and contraction between “social sculpture“ to „rational self-interest“, the author rethink on the principle of „rational self-interest“ in the globalized, capitalistic information ear, so as to highlight the realistic value of Beuys’ „social sculpture“ to modern society, in the expectation that people would explore the ideas humanistic significance nowadays.
