摘要
Advanced Chinese culture today has three interconnected requirements： a） it is an organic component of today＇s advanced world culture; b） it critically absorbs all the best elements of foreign cultures in an organic combination with the best elements of traditional Chinese culture; and c） it transcends the argument over ＂modernism＂ and ＂post-modernism.＂ From a world- historical perspective, all other necessary features of advanced culture in contemporary China represent the logical unfolding of these three requirements. A full and correct grasp of the three elements constituting the world-historicality of this advanced culture is of important methodological significance in clarifying the world-historical mode of the construction of contemporary Chinese culture and the path to cultural innovation.
当代中国先进文化是作为当代世界先进文化的一个有机组成部分的文化，是把批判性地汲取一切外国文化的优秀成分和本国传统文化的优秀成分有机结合起来的文化，是超越“现代性”与“后现代性”之争的文化。这是“当代中国先进文化”三个相互联系的规定。“当代中国先进文化”的其他规定都是这三个相互联系规定的逻辑展开。全面、正确把握“当代中国先进文化”具有世界历史性意义的这三个相互联系的规定对于我们明确当代中国文化建设的世界历史方式以及中国文化创新的路径，具有重要的方法论意义。
