解放思想:辩证唯物主义认识论的当代中国实践

Thought Emancipation:the Practice of Epistemology of Dialectical Materialism in Contemporary China

解放思想是一个历史范畴,在改革开放的不同历史阶段,解放思想有着不同的内涵和意义。邓小平强调解放思想,是为了从"左"的错误中解放出来,最大程度地调动各阶层人们的积极性,从对社会主义的教条主义理解中解放出来,解决对社会主义本质的认识问题,寻找一条有中国特色的改革开放的道路。江泽民主持中央工作的13年强调解放思想,是为了解决社会主义经济体制改革和建设什么样的党、怎样建设党的认识问题。党的十六大以来以胡锦涛为总书记的党中央强调解放思想,还是为了正确认识改革开放中出现的一些矛盾和问题,把中国特色社会主义事业继续推向前进。解放思想是辩证唯物主义认识论在当代中国的具体化,是改革开放的思想前提和号角。当前,获取新经验、应对新挑战、多元利益的诉求和整合、进一步完善社会主义市场经济体制等都离不开解放思想。

Thought emancipation isa historical category, which hasdifferent connotation and significance in different historical phasesduring re- form and opening. Deng Xiaoping emphasized thought emancipation in order to free from the 'leftist'mistakes, to farthest mobilize the initiative of all classes, to emancipate from the dogmatic understanding of socialism, to correctly understand the essence of socialism, and to seek the road of reform and opening to the outside world with Chinese characteristics. Jiang Zemin, the general secretary of the third generation emphasized thought emancipation during his13 years’work in order to focus on the socialist economic system reform and to solve the problem of 'building what kind of party and how to build it'. Since the 16th Party Congress, the Central Committee of the Communist Party under the leader of general secretary, Hu Jintao, put an emphasis on thought emancipation in order to correctly understand some contradictions and problems oc- curring in the reform and opening processand stick to push forward the socialist cause with Chinese characteristics. Thought emancipation is the embodiment of epistemology of dialectical materialism in contemporary China and the ideological premise and horn of the reform and opening. Nowadays, nothing can be separated from thought emancipation, for instance, obtaining new experience, facing new challenges, appealing and integrating of multiple interests, further perfect of the so- cialist market economy system.
