Abstract: Politics and ethics often play significant roles for human survival and social existence.Mankind is now going through a process of globalization and post-industrialization,which refers to the transformation of human society from the industrial era to the post-industrial era and heralds the arrival of a new post-industrial society.In this context,what politics and ethics of the post-industrial society will look like would be a question worth thinking about.Historically,the politics and ethics of agricultural society were in a state of chaos.When it comes to industrial society,with the differentiation of fields in social life and the scientific differentiation of cognition,politics and ethics have been distinguished both in practice and in research.However,with the advent of globalization and post-industrialization,the distinction between politics and ethics has caused lots of adverse consequences in practice and logical reflexivity in theory.It can be predicted that the process of globalization and post-industrialization will bring the integration of politics and ethics.

Key words: post-industrialization, ethics, politics, rationalization
