Abstract: Family is a word that affects people's complex emotions.As a philosophical study,we need to suspend the daily awareness,historical mechanism and social science research of family,to clarify family as a philosophical concept,and reveal the feature of family as a basic structure of human existence.Modernity is based on the logic of “leaving home”.The priority of the individual as the subject originated from Protestant theology and deepened in modern philosophy.However,the deep-seated crisis of the individual-subject gave birth to modern nihilism.Based on the interpretation of redemption in the Chinese perspective,a plan for the redemption of modernity originating from the Chinese(language)-world is given,and “returning-family” has become a new direction of this kind of redemption.Under the guidance of this perspective,Western philosophy also reveals a salvation path based on family.Ultimately,we must reveal the warmth aspect of human existence based on “family ontology”.
