Abstract: The modern Cynicism in the philosophy of education provides a comprehensive organization and reflection on modern education. The problem and crisis of modern educational philosophy lie in modern Cynicism, which is a more extreme and prevalent illness of time than Nihilism. It is cynic in philosophy, life and mechanism. The modern Cynicism acts as a new ideology, a new life style and practice that generate educational practices without energy or depth. Curing modern Cynicism is to rebuild the value of spirit life. Public life, public rationality and public spirit should be the fundamental direction of the philosophy of modern education.
