It is better to directly pursue the ultimate value than to pursuemodernization. Because modernization not only has unclear meanings, butalso constantly changes over time, and it does not belong to the purpose value.So pursuing it as a purpose will bring some inevitable disadvantages. On thecontrary, directly pursuing the ultimate value will not be like this. The ultimatevalue that can be confirmed is the comprehensive and free development ofhuman beings. It can be decomposed into four major indicators according topeople’s needs: health, affluence, harmony, and freedom. Therefore, a society cancontinuously improve people’s health, affluence, harmony, and freedom, whichis constantly promoting the comprehensive and free development of humanbeings, that is, the continuous progress of society.
