Abstract On one hand, modernity refers to modern characteristics of human society gradually formed in the process of modernization. On the other hand, it refers to rationality and subjectivity of human beings in the process of modernization. Subjectivity, independence and rationality constitute human modernity. Although the relationship between human modernity and social modernization is a kind of bidirectional construction, human modernity is the premise of social modernization. In modern society, higher education as a mode of recording and transmitting modernity, its function and essential attribute are to develop human modernity. Curriculum is the major carrier of higher education as well as the basic approach to develop students’ subjectivity and to expand their modernity. Therefore, the objective of modernity is implicit in the curriculum reform of higher education, which is mainly manifested in the following four aspects: the diversity of curriculum objectives, the openness of curriculum content, the subjectivity of curriculum implementation, and the humanity of curriculum evaluation.
