历史进步的多元视域及其当代意蕴

The Multivariate Horizons of the Historical Progressivism and Its Contemporary Significance

近代以来,随着科学技术的普遍运用,大工业生产的迅速发展,一种强势的历史进步观念逐渐构成各种社会思潮的"理论硬核"。然而,由历史进步主义观念所驱动的席卷全球的现代化运动,在促使物质财富大量积聚的同时,也使人类面临着日益严重的全球性发展危机,尤其使现代人陷入了意义世界荒漠的生存困境。现实证明,社会的发展在基于物质的直线式的进步之外,还有基于情感价值多向度、回环式变化的另一维,历史的进步是从不同角度展示出来的虚实相间的、不断变动的综合图景。

Since modem times, with the wide application of science and technology and the rapid increase of mass industrial production, an influential idea of historical progressivism predominates, forming the ＂theoretical core＂ of multifarious social thinking trends. However, despite the fact that the modernist movement propelled by the historical progressivism has promoted the mass accumulation of material wealth, it has plunged man into a worsening global development crisis, especially into the crisis of loss of faith and meaningless existence for modern man. Reality proves that social development is not merely predicated on the linear progress of material things, it also has an emotion dimension. Overall historical progress is a fluid comprehensive picture, presenting from different angles and alternating between reality and fantasy.
