当代中国的精神建设及其思想资源(英文)

当代中国的精神建设是当下中国历史性实践所提出的重大思想课题。现代化的发展往往意指进入"现代文明"。而对这一文明的抽象理解却掩盖了其本质规定和历史性。中国的发展是在与西方不同的历史前提的基础上开展出来的,仅只部分地从属于现代资本主义文明,而其快速发展正日益凸显后者固有的历史界限。中国发展的现实前景意味着整个生活方式、生活态度、价值体系等的变革与重铸,从而不可避免地要求哲学的新形态。这一哲学新形态的思想资源即中国哲学、西方哲学和马克思主义哲学,其自主的创造性融合,将积极地指向新文明类型的可能性。

Spiritual Construction in Contemporary China and Its Ideological Resources

Spiritual construction in contemporary China is an important ideological task raised by China＇s historical practice. Modem development often entails entering into ＂modem civilization＂; yet the abstract understanding of this civilization hides its essential rules and historical nature. China has pursued development on different historical premises from the West, and therefore it belongs only partially to modem capitalist civilization. Its rapid development highlights the historical limits of the latter. Realistic prospects for Chinese development imply a transformation and remodeling of China＇s overall way of life, attitudes to life and values, and this inevitably calls for a new form of philosophy. The intellectual sources for this new philosophy are Chinese philosophy, Western philosophy and Marxist philosophy. Their creative integration points in a positive way to the possibility of a new type of civilization.
