社会双重转型与当代中国社会秩序变革

The Dual Social Transition and the Transformation of Contemporary Chinese Social Order

当代中国的社会秩序正处于变革中,表现为社会规范体系、社会权威、价值理念等秩序要素及其联系方式的急剧变化。变革的根源在于社会的双重转型,这种转型是社会秩序变革的一般动因在当代中国社会秩序变革中的具体实现形式;从要素和层次等方面的变化看来,当代中国社会秩序呈现为渐进式的变革方式和异常复杂性的特点,这使社会主体在建构新的社会秩序时易陷入两难选择。

The contemporary Chinese social order is experiencing a rapid transition which can be seen from the rapid changes in such key elements of the social order as the social rule system, the social authority and the ideas of values, including their contents and their mutual relations. This transition is originated from the dual social transformation which is the concrete expression of the social order transformation given by the general motive. From the perspective of the key elements and levels of the social order, the contemporary transformation of Chinese social order takes a form of step-by-step progress and has extraordinarily complicated features and this has made the social subjects face a difficult choice in constructing a new social order.
