Summary/Abstract: In the study the notions of community and associations opposite kinds of social bonds are being analyzed. In principle a community is subordinated to the authority of the tradition, and association for rational criteria. Towards evident evolution from communities to associations is justified the question about the possibility of the existence of rational community and/or traditional association. In the opinion of the author such realities exist now in East Asia. They are a result of the different as compare with the West evolution of community on that cultural area. In the Confucian cultural range are continually vital social bonds filled in with traditional values as the honour, attachment, loyalty, faithfulness, but simultaneously rational in economic meaning. In Japanese economic organizations (associations) a greater participation have traditional duties and informal obligations than the calculation as the motivators of economic actions.
