Abstract: Individual’s socialization is a process of one’s life sensemaking and value generation, it’s also a process of the formation of one’s social attributes. Further, this will develop into ethical or national identities such as values, ethos, modes of thinking and behavior, personalities and characteristics. The formation of social attributes and national character are indispensable from essential “disciplines”. Looking at the national character from Foucault’s theory and using a technical operation of “disciplines” in building the aggregative relationship, one’s socialization is achieved through various power and norms in the aggregative relationship, resulting in national character. Knowledge socialization is the significant implication for individual’s socialization, which leads to body’s utility and productivity. However, the process of disciplines is laden with negative antinomy and thus requires rational analysis.

Key words: theory of disciplines, socialization, national character, rationality, antinomy
