与时俱进——建构当代中国民族精神的新视角

Up to Date- a New Visual Angle of Constructing the Ethos of Contemporary China

民族精神是民族性与时代性的有机统一,是一个随着时代变迁不断扬弃自身的多维动态体系。文章从论释民族精神与时代精神的互动共生关系入手,指出当代民族精神建构之必要性与基本维度:时代性与传统性高度统一、科学性与开放性相互融通。从而确立了当代中国需要建构的是一种融汇科学理性与人文精神于一体的民族精神,两者共为促进社会主义现代化建设进程的车之双轮、鸟之双翼,缺一不可。

The ethos is the organic unification of ethnic quality and epoch-making quality, at the same time it is a dynamic system with many angles which continuously sublets itself along with the changing ages. Beginning with explaining the interactive symbiosis relation of the ethos and the spirit of the times, this paper points out the necessity and basic dimensions of the contemporary ethos construction: the epoch-making quality and traditional quality unify in a high degree,scientific quality and opening quality circulate each other .Thereby it establishes that what contemporary China needs to construct is a kind of ethos combining scientific reasonableness and human spirit. Both of them are just like the two wheels of a carriage and the two wings of a bird during the process of promoting socialism modernization construction, and not a single one of them can be dispensed with.
